Form & Verdict

Night Of Thunder filly; cost 17,000gns as a 3yo; closely related to winners Don't Give Up (7f-1m2f including AW/dirt; RPR 103), Welford (7f-1m3f including 2yo/UAE dirt; 94) and Atavique (1m2f; 91), half-sister to two winners including Influencer (1m 2yo/1m1f; 98); dam Listed-placed 1m3f winner (105); likeable pedigree but probably best watched on belated debut.
