Amma Grace is respected and has twice run well in Group 3 company lately; on these terms she has sound claims but so, too, does THUNDERING NIGHTS. Joseph O'Brien's runner was only headed late on in a Curragh handicap off a mark of 86 last month – her first run in that sphere and fourth overall. She has plenty scope for better and this trip is ideal. Cerro Bayo wasn't beaten far in a Group 2 last time and has to be on the shortlist.
