Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: More Thunder
More Thunder is our selection, preferred to the top-rated Docklands on his progressive profile rather than pure figures. He followed a flat run with back-to-back places, returns fit, and looks the sort finding his form at the right time. Docklands, Zeus Olympios and Holloway Boy are the chief dangers, with Docklands the most obvious threat on the figures. Confidence is low, making this a competitive heat.
