The Thunderer⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Planas| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 77| D

7/2

First run since leaving Sean Curran when tongue strap on for 1st time, did well to win 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/3) 60 days ago, very slowly away. Should make his presence felt if he's sharper from the stalls.

Form: 41-8781

Forecasts

Age Of Sail (7/4), Later Darling (5/2), The Thunderer (7/2), Whimsy (15/2), Spyfall (12/1), Militry Decoration (16/1)

AGE OF SAIL made all with a bit to spare at Chepstow recently and, if he gets his own way in front again, he should prove hard to pass. Fellow last-time-out winner The Thunderer, despite his tendency to miss the break, and Later Darling is another one to consider.
