More Thunder Shortens to 2-1 for Hungerford Stakes

Punters have driven the four-year-old colt into favouritism for Newbury’s Group 2 feature against the backdrop of his surprisingly low official rating.

Overview

  • More Thunder has been heavily backed into a 2-1 market favourite for today’s 3.35pm Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes at Newbury.
  • The William Haggas-trained four-year-old has won three of four starts this season, including the Bunbury Cup, and is partnered by Tom Marquand.
  • Despite strong betting support, his official rating of 103 leaves him joint-lowest in a field featuring Spy Chief, Witness Stand, King’s Gamble and Rage Of Bamby.
  • Sky Sports Racing is providing live coverage of the Hungerford Stakes as race-day markets shift sharply.
  • At Ripon, punters have cut Abduction’s odds from about 20-1 to roughly 12-1 for the Great St Wilfrid Handicap, highlighting similar day-of market moves.
