I Am Thunder was a E130,000 purchase as a two-year-old and though likely to need a bit further than this wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a successful debut so watch the market.

There doesn't appear any reason for a reversal of form though the latter's yard is in much better form. The remainder make little appeal.
