Formscan  - The fact that Godolphin keep MIDNIGHT THUNDER in training suggests they think he can win more races. Although beaten five lengths when fifth at Southwell last month, he is entitled to improve for his first start in 19 months, with a 2lb drop in the handicap a bonus. The Good Biscuit won for the third time this summer when successful at Pontefract and warrants serious consideration, with Commanche Falls and perhaps Musical Touch others to consider.
