Form & Verdict
Night Of Thunder colt made good impression on debut in Navan maiden in May, green when hitting front but clearing away to win handsomely to beat a subsequent winner (now rated 101) on good ground; absence since suggests all hasn't gone smoothly but looks a smart sort and could take the beating if handling the AW (half-brother won it).

Decent form in good-class Curragh maidens in early summer and returned from a break nicely improved to score at same venue last month in albeit weaker company, seeing it out strongly on softish ground; brother to a 6f AW winner so good chance he'll handle this surface.
