      Verdict

      Rumble Of Thunder is only 2lb higher than when winning in this grade at Aintree around this time last year. He was far from disgraced on his reappearance in a hot contest at Market Rasen but did finish behind NINE STORIES and Chris Grant's seven-year-old could make the most of his guaranteed fitness here against several who may be better for the run. Karasenir, Lightening Rod and Simply Ned are bracketed among the latter but Bothy, Hi Dancer, Tinseltown and Zaplamation have been in action on the Flat and should make their presence felt. Boxer Beat and Bridlingtonbygones struggle to get across the line in front, however, and both are a pound out of the handicap in this.
