This horse is a monster - and the closest thing I’ve got to a Royal Ascot banker. But let me be clear: I'm not just talking about any old beast. More Thunder is the real deal, and I'm here to tell you why. First off, his seven-furlong form from last year is getting boosted, and for good reason. He's got course form in the book, which is a huge advantage. He stays further, and he ran a cracker in the Lockinge, which is the best springboard for the Queen Anne. William Haggas is on fire, and the favourite Notable Speech might not replicate his form from Newbury on this track. So, More Thunder is my top pick for the Queen Anne. But I'm also keeping an eye on The Lion In Winter, another with course form who did too much at Newbury. Now, onto the St James’s Palace. Bow Echo was wildly impressive at Newmarket, and I hope he wins again. It's rare for an unbeaten miler to keep that record going, but I'm also hoping that Talk Of New York can give him a fright or two. He's lightning in a bottle, and the way he quickened away at Sandown was spectacular. He'll have to improve a chunk, but a ding-dong battle would be my dream for the race. In my opinion, these horses are the real deal, and I'm confident they'll perform well. But let's not forget the importance of a good bet. I may also have a saver on Bow Echo or Talk Of New York, depending on how they perform. Ultimately, I'm excited to see how these horses fare at Ascot, and I'm confident that More Thunder will be a strong contender. So, if you're looking for a banker, More Thunder is my pick. But don't forget to do your own research and consider all the factors before placing your bets.
