THUNDER TO STORM HOME

Take Rousing Thunder to storm clear of his rivals in the Arco NSPCC Handicap at Beverley tomorrow.

The three-year-old's trainer, Ed Dunlop, has recently struck form with his string after a quiet spell.

And Rousing Thunder's performances have been in similar vein.

The son of Theatrical was slightly disappointing on his reappearance at Salisbury last month when he pulled too hard for his own good and finished seventh of 11 behind Water Jump, beaten around seven lengths.

Improvement followed at Ripon last week.

Looking a lot fitter Rousing Thunder took over two furlongs out in a a-mile-and-a-quarter handicap only to be outsprinted by Colway Ritz in the closing stages and went down by half length to Wilf Storey's experienced campaigner.

After two runs Rousing Thunder will now be at his peak and is made the nap selection to get the better of his rivals tomorrow with most to fear from course winner Bacchus.

Bollin Roberta can overcome a wide draw to land the Tankclean Handicap over an extended seven furlongs.

Tim Easterby's filly will be racing from stall two in the 16-runner field but judged on her fine second at Musselburgh last month that will be no bar to success.

Relishing the fast surface at the Scottish track Bollin Roberta kept on strongly in the closing stages but failed by half a length to catch Saguaro.

With similar ground conditions expected at the Westwood, Bollin Roberta is taken to go one better.

Melanzana can complete an across-the-card double for Dunlop in the Tote totalbet.com Stakes over six furlongs.

The filly raced too freely on her seasonal debut at Nottingham last month and, short of room in the closing stages, she finished a one-length fourth behind the useful San Salvador.

That race was run at a muddling pace but with a decent gallop virtually guaranteed tomorrow the promising Melanzana can land the afternoon's Showcase handicap.

Henry Cecil's well-bred newcomer Satarra would not have to be very good to win the Henry Street Maiden Stakes.

A son of Derby winner Lammtarra from a good family, the chestnut, not surprisingly, cost 150,000 guineas as a foal and then made 240,000 guineas when resold as a yearling.

The stable is in good form and Satarra can make a low-key but successful start to his career on his way to better things.
