THUNDERING HOME won off a 20lb higher mark over track and trip early last year. He's probably not as good nowadays and hard to catch right but Nick Mitchell's grey was third at Plumpton last time, ahead of Sir Dylan, and this won't take much winning. Tim Vaughan's pair Gifted Island and Glimpse Of Gold must have some sort of chance and John Biscuit has hinted at ability in the past and could also have each-way claims.
