Mighty Thunder
Horse age: 9 Trainer: Lucinda Russell Jockey: Derek Fox Horse star sign: Taurus Horse trained at: Scotland Jockey silks colour: Blue
Lucinda Russell has been in great form this season which resulted in Cheltenham Festival success with Corach Rambler in the Ultima and she has a good record when sending runners to the Grand National. Strong Resolve (2005) and Silver By Nature (2011) both completed and then she had success with One For Arthur in 2017 who returned in 2019 to finish sixth. That is four Grand National runners and all have completed, overall over the national fences since 2002 she has sent our eighteen runners and an impressive 78% of those have completed the race. Mighty Thunder had a memorable season last term which included a romp in the Edinburgh National where his nearest rival (Dino Boy) was some twenty lengths away and that result would have delighted his Scottish trainer and then the season ended with a career-best and another win which made his trainer happy when he landed the Scottish National just seeing off Dingo Dollar. The yard has been trying him at higher levels this season which hasn't exactly worked out, he was fourth in the Charlie Hall, pulled up in the Welsh National and when last seen he was trying to defend his Edinburgh National crown but failed to see out the race. After that race, it was reported that he had a respiratory issue which would explain a couple of tame efforts. However, as a result of those runs this season, his handicap mark is now 147, it started off at 151 and is now only 3lbs higher than his Scottish National success. He is one of few with proven stamina over four miles and with a reduced mark and if a recent wind opearation has sorted out his breathing issues then he has to be in with a shout here.
