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.

Jan Brueghel poised to be the Ballydoyle big gun in the King George
Last season's St Leger hero Jan Brueghel opened his account for the current campaign in the Coronation Cup at Epsom last month and looks set for a rematch with the runner-up that day, French star Calandagan, in Ascot's midsummer highlight. While the Ballydoyle handler was not ruling out the possibility of Epsom and Curragh winner Lambourn taking on his elders when speaking at the Kildare track on Saturday, connections appear more likely to chart a path towards a third Classic bid in the Betfred-sponsored Leger at Doncaster in September. You shall not pass ❌ Jan Brueghel sees off Calandagan to win the Betfred Coronation Cup 🏆#EpsomDerbyFestival — ITV Racing (@itvracing) June 6, 2025 O'Brien said: 'At the moment I'd say Jan Brueghel is most likely to go to the King George, with Continuous. 'Lambourn is still on the boiling pot for it, but I don't think he'll be forced into it by any means and he is a three-year-old. 'Jan Brueghel seems to be in very good form and everyone seems to be very happy with him. I'd imagine the lads might let him go there. 'That would mean Lambourn would have a couple of easy weeks and he might go to the Great Voltigeur (at York), even though he's a Group One winner, and kind of set him up for the Leger.

'We have Delacroix and Camille Pissarro being trained for the Juddmonte at York and the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown. They'll be taking that slot at the moment,' he said. 'Los Angeles is on a break and he'll maybe go to the Prix Foy on Arc trials day with the view of going to the Arc with him. 'Delacroix loved Leopardstown and was very good around there. Whether the lads decide to go to York or not before that, they'll make that decision. He seems in good form at the moment.' Meanwhile, in an earlier interview with ITV Racing, O'Brien revealed his Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Lake Victoria may not run again.

We're thinking he could be a Heinz (Phoenix Stakes) horse, he could take in Deauville (Prix Morny) and he could take in the National Stakes and he could end up being a Dewhurst horse at the end.'

Anthelia comes out on top in Super Sprint thriller
The Devon handler credits the valuable two-year-old contest as salvaging his career when winning it for the first time with Lord Kintyre in 1997 and after striking again with Bettys Hope in 2019 was making it a hat-trick with the Middleham Park-owned filly – who was picked up for a bargain price of £6,000 as a yearling. Anthelia was sent off the 6-1 co second-favourite and looked booked for second when Eve Johnson Houghton's Windsor Castle Stakes victor and 6-4 market leader Havana Hurricane burst onto the scene inside the final furlong. Regular partner Lewis Edmunds was also conjuring maximum effort from the daughter of Supremacy, though, and after showing the blistering speed that had been a hallmark of her campaign to date, Anthelia stuck her head down to be rewarded with a short-head success. 'I didn't know if she had got there and she had to make a bit of ground inside the final furlong as Eve's horse got first run on us,' explained Millman. 'I don't try to buy cheap horses, I try to buy nice horses cheaply. She's a lovely filly to be involved with and we're so lucky to have a nice filly like this. 'It's a wonderful race for any trainer, but especially the small trainers and it kept me in business many years ago when I was struggling and then won it with Lord Kintyre. After that people sent me horses and we've been fine ever since. Anthelia denies Royal Ascot winner Havana Hurricane to scoop the Weatherbys Super Sprint for Rod Millman and @MprUpdates — Adam Morgan (@Adam_Morgs) July 19, 2025 'We always try to have a nice horse for it and I've spent a lot of money on entry fees as the trouble is you have to enter them before you know how good they are. So you're sort of running for your own prize-money, but if you're lucky enough to have the right horse it's a great race. 'My wife always says, what's mine is half hers and what's hers is hers, so she'll enjoy this.' Connections had deliberately skipped Royal Ascot after landing Sandown's Listed National Stakes earlier in the season, but suffered disappointment when trying six furlongs for the first time in Newmarket's Empress Stakes last month. However, having bounced back with a lucrative £134,092 haul, Anthelia could now go in search of further sales race bounty before dipping her toe in at a higher level. Anthelia in full flow (Jonathan Brady/PA) 'We'll probably go for Harry's Half Million (York, August 21) and then there's some nice Group races later in the season,' said Millman. 'The Empress went wrong last time, but she's a good filly and proved it today. It wasn't that she didn't stay in the Empress, she was just in the bad position but it wasn't the jockey's fault, it was my fault as I gave the instructions and I gave myself a good telling off afterwards. 'I think she's quite nice, but it is always another ball game taking on the big girls. She's effective over five and six furlongs and once you start trying to go further you've got to be a better class again to be effective at that distance, but I have not ruled it out.' Johnson Houghton, meanwhile, could potentially seek immediate compensation at the Qatar Goodwood Festival with the runner-up having been thwarted in her continuing quest for a first Super Sprint victory. Trainer Eve Johnson Houghton had to settle for second (Nigel French/PA) Johnson Houghton said: 'I'm thrilled but gutted is the best way of putting it, it's my unlucky race. 'I'm pleased for Rod but gutted for us and I think if we hadn't had the rain he might have won, but I can't possibly say that as there is no way of knowing and the winner is a very good filly. 'She's a Listed winner, we're a Listed winner and they should have finished like that really as they are two good horses and two cheap horses we have done well with, so clever us – aren't Rod and I clever. 'We might as well have a look at Goodwood now, but I don't think he wants soft ground as it just dents his turn of foot. I don't know if we'll go go five or six furlongs just yet, I need to have a think about it.'
