THUNDER WILL GO LIKE LIGHTNING AT NOTTINGHAM
ONE NIGHT THUNDER (2.45) bumped into a potential Group-race performer on his most recent run, but the Bet At racingtv.com Novice Stakes at Nottingham tomorrow looks a perfect opportunity for compensation.
A narrow winner of a weak Kempton event on his racecourse debut in March, he appeared to have made significant subsequent strides for Richard Hannon when coming home third at Goodwood next time out.
He looked very inexperienced on his initial start but Hannon felt he merited a chance in better company, stepping up to a mile on easy ground at the beginning of May.
However, he was unfortunate to clash with Royal Ascot hopeful Cicero’s Gift there, proving no match for the winner as he stayed on from a slow start to finish a six-and-a-half-length third.
Enough
The second, Kolsai, was thought good enough to run in the Diomed subsequently, so that looks a pretty smart performance and while he has to find a bit on the ratings with Lord Of Biscay, One Night Thunder makes more appeal with race fitness on his side and a progressive looking profile.
Meanwhile, POINT LYNAS (3.45) thrives on a fast surface and after a cracking run at York he might take some catching in the racingtv.com Handicap.
