The weather has been glorious at Ascot this week but I forecast Thunder this afternoon.

ARCTIC THUNDER (5.05) goes in the Britannia Handicap and this big-field dash down the straight mile looks an ideal race.




He broke his duck on the all-weather at Kempton in January before having the misfortune to bump into subsequent 2000 Guineas winner Notable Speech at the same track a month later.

It was to his credit he was able to win over 7f at Ascot last month. He pulled way too hard off a slow pace but still battled on well to beat two in-form rivals.

The likely fast pace and step up to a mile should be perfect. Have 2pts each-way at 28-1.
