From the connections
“I bought Charging Thunder on spec and sold him about an hour before the race, so it's all gone well. He was a good horse back in his day and has slipped into the lowest grade he's run in for a while. We've schooled him and he's taken to that quite well. He was going to go hurdling next, but after today we might change our mind, although he'll see a hurdle at some point - trainer James Owen speaking on Sky Sports Racing.”
“It's tough over and mile and six for these horses but Charging Thunder has toughed it out - William Buick, rider.”
“Charging Thunder was fit and well coming into today so David was pretty hopeful having brought him all the way down. His form has been pretty consistent and he's got a big stride on him so I've allowed him to get into his rhythm and he's galloped all the way to the line. It was a good effort - David Probert, jockey.”
