An 8lb rise may not be enough to dent the enthusiasm of THUNDERING HOME, who was an eye-catching winner last time out and has been found a decent opportunity for his attempt to follow up. Sir Hubert and Royal Ettiquette can make life hard for the selection, while support for Soulsaver would also be interesting to note.
