Forecasts
Gstaad (7/4), Talk Of New York (3/1), Ten Bob Tony (7/1), More Thunder (15/2), Rayif (10/1), Zavateri (12/1), Zeus Olympios (12/1), Docklands (33/1), Hawk Mountain (33/1), Dancing Gemini (100/1), Needle Match (150/1)
This test is likely to bring out the best in MORE THUNDER so he looks the value play in what is a wide-open renewal. Talk of New York is probably the most progressive in the field so is next best ahead of Gstaad, who arguably has the best form having pushed Bow Echo close a couple of times this summer.
