Thunder ready to roll in Bunbury Cup
He agonisingly missed out on a hat-trick of victories at the distance when a head away from Wokingham glory at the Royal meeting, with connections feeling now is the right time to gradually increase the colt's yardage to seven furlongs.
'I think he will go for the handicap, the Bunbury Cup,' said owner Saeed Suhail's racing manager Philip Robinson.
'I think the seven furlongs will help him and it looks to me like that will be his best trip. We will get to find out and then know where we go from there.
'He was flying at the finish at Ascot and in another stride would probably have got there.'
More Thunder is as short as 2-1 for Saturday's £100,000 handicap on the July course, while he also holds an entry for Group events in the coming weeks including the Curragh's Romanised Minstrel Stakes on July 19 and the HKJC World Pool Lennox Stakes during the Qatar Goodwood Festival.

Al Aasy defends Glorious Stakes title in style
The William Haggas-trained eight-year-old claimed the fifth of his seven Group Three victories to date in this race 12 months ago before going on to land the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury in August and the Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown on his first start of this season in April. Despite coming up short in two subsequent outings, most recently finishing seventh in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot, Al Aasy was a 13-8 favourite on his return to the Sussex Downs and after being settled at the rear of the five-strong field for much of the way, he picked up well when asked to go about his business by Jim Crowley to run down his rivals and pull three lengths clear of Meydaan at the line. Haggas told Racing TV: 'He's terrific, isn't he? He's a fabulous horse. He's pretty reliable in this grade when things set up like that. 'They didn't go very fast today and he usually likes a stronger pace and they slow down a bit, but they picked up well up the straight and he still found a gear. He actually ran on strongly today as usually he wins by half a length or a neck. 'He's been called some names in the past and I wish people would respect him for what he is. He's a very talented horse, he just needs to be ridden like that – you need to wait and wait and wait. 'I haven't put him a Group One race and we think at eight years old this is probably his level, Listed and Group Three races and maybe the odd Group Two are fine for him. He's a useful horse. 'He's a very strong traveller, so you can imagine at home when we don't get them off the bridle he looks like Nijinsky every time! He catches the eye every morning, so he's been a joy for us.'

Two Tribes secures big-race double in Stewards' Cup
Richard Spencer's charge was a 25-1 winner of the International Handicap at Ascot last Saturday and was turned out swiftly under 6lb penalty for the £250,000 on the final day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival. With David Egan again in the saddle, 11-2 shot Two Tribes was up with the pace from the start in the group that raced closest to the stands' rail and took over the lead from last year's winner Get It entering the final two furlongs. His stablemate Run Boy Run looked the biggest threat over on the far side of the track entering the closing stages, but Two Tribes kept up the gallop and was well on top as he passed the post with just over two lengths in hand. Strike Red and Jakajaro chased him home in second and third respectively, with Run Boy Run fourth and another Spencer runner in Twilight Calls fifth. 'I thought all three of them had really good chances leading into it, but Two Tribes is in great form and when you get a sprinter in this sort of form they're hard to beat,' the trainer told Racing TV. 'Two runs in seven days is hard for any horse, but at this level it's even harder. They're not small fields, they're 28-runner races and the tempo is hard. 'It's crazy how far he's won today, I didn't expect him to do that in a million years, but it's great. 'We've got no immediate plans, we'll just have to see what the handicapper does – I think he's probably going to give him a fair whack for that today. We'll let the dust settle and see where we go.' Phil Cunningham, who owns all three Spencer-trained runners, said: 'It all happened quite quickly. Having three runners in a race like this is a dream but it's quite difficult to try to follow them when it's a short trip and a big field. 'It's an amazing day. Honestly, after he won last Saturday, we weren't going to run him today. Richard said we were going to keep him at seven furlongs but we had a change of plan on Wednesday and obviously I'm delighted that we have. 'It was a team decision but when you have a horse that's qualified to run in a race like this, at a festival, with the prize money on offer, I think you've got to take your chance. 'Every next big win is probably the best one. We've been very lucky to have some lovely winners in the past, but you always chase the next one. Saturday winners and festival winners are what we do this for. 'Richard has done an amazing job. I thought he was brave trying to saddle three on his own but we got it done and we've got lots to look forward to with the group of horses that we have got, which are gradually creeping up in quality.'
