Thunder ready to roll in Bunbury Cup
He agonisingly missed out on a hat-trick of victories at the distance when a head away from Wokingham glory at the Royal meeting, with connections feeling now is the right time to gradually increase the colt's yardage to seven furlongs.
'I think he will go for the handicap, the Bunbury Cup,' said owner Saeed Suhail's racing manager Philip Robinson.
'I think the seven furlongs will help him and it looks to me like that will be his best trip. We will get to find out and then know where we go from there.
'He was flying at the finish at Ascot and in another stride would probably have got there.'
More Thunder is as short as 2-1 for Saturday's £100,000 handicap on the July course, while he also holds an entry for Group events in the coming weeks including the Curragh's Romanised Minstrel Stakes on July 19 and the HKJC World Pool Lennox Stakes during the Qatar Goodwood Festival.

Ascot: King George, Saturday, July 26 – runner guide and tips
Race: King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes When: 4.10pm, Saturday, July 26 Where: Ascot Watch: ITV1 & Sky Sports Racing Class: Group 1 Trip: 1m 4f Horse age: 3yo+ Total prize money: £1.5million If you already have a Betfred account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts Ron Wood's Eclipse verdict CALANDAGAN is an off-the-pace runner who can be a bit tricky, but he gained an overdue first Group 1 success in France on his latest start and he should reverse June's Coronation Cup form with Jan Brueghel. The form danger is Kalpana, but she might not appreciate the drying ground. Check out the Betfred promo code July 2025 Eclipse – Guide to runners and odds 1. Calandagan (4) – 7/4 with Betfred Trainer: Francis Henri Graffard; Jockey: Mickael Barzalona: Group 2 winner over course and distance at Royal Ascot last year. Denied by a cannily ridden Jan Brueghel in the Coronation Cup at Epsom in June, but shaped like the best horse in that race. He's not completely straightforward, but readily won a Group 1 race in France last time out and has strong claims again now. Stable won this last year. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2. Jan Brueghel (2) – 7/4 with Betfred Trainer: Aidan O'Brien; Jockey: Ryan Moore: Last year's St Leger winner. Had a better position than Calandagan and the ground was on the slow side when defeating the French horse in this season's Coronation Cup at Epsom. Probably won't be quick enough now, on faster going, even with the addition of cheekpieces. ⭐⭐⭐ 3. Kalpana (5) – 9/2 with Betfred Trainer: Andrew Balding; Jockey: Oisin Murphy: Group 1 winner against her own sex here last October, but beaten on both starts this term and the ground may be quicker than she wants. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4. Rebel's Romance (1) – 9/2 with Betfred Trainer: Charlie Appleby; Jockey: William Buick: Terrific old horse, a seven-time winner at the top level. Didn't have the race unfold to suit when third in this last year and most recently won the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes over course and distance at Royal Ascot, but doesn't look up to this now. ⭐⭐⭐ 5. Continuous (3) – 100/1 with Betfred Trainer: Aidan O'Brien; Jockey: Wayne Lordan: Won the 2023 St Leger, but tends to be used as a pacemaker these days and he'll just be setting this up for others. ⭐ Odds courtesy of Betfred and correct at time of writing.

Smart targets in the pipeline for Wemightakedlongway
The daughter of Australia was fourth to Minnie Hauk in the Epsom equivalent in June before not being disgraced when dropping back to 10 furlongs and filling the same spot in the Curragh's Pretty Polly Stakes next time. She justified her position as chief market danger to Minnie Hauk when closing the gap on the dual Classic winner in her second taste of Classic action and after her brave performance in defeat, Wemightakedlongway's trainer is now lining up some exciting options for later in the season. Wemightakedlongway pushed Minnie Hauk all the way at the Curragh (Niall Carson/PA) 'I was very proud of her run and there is no shame getting beat a length by Minnie Hauk,' said O'Brien. 'We can look at some nice fillies races with her in the autumn now and there's a good chance she might turn up in something like the Prix Vermeille or Prix de l'Opera.' O'Brien may have had to settle for second with Wemightakedlongway, but was thrilled to see Al Riffa – who is now somewhat a stable stalwart – excel in his first try at a mile and six. A dual Group One winner, he built on his fine Royal Ascot second to Rebel's Romance to romp to an impressive five-length success in the Curragh Cup and the Owning Hill handler has earmarked the Comer Group International Irish St. Leger over the same track and trip as the perfect spot to seek further top honours. Al Riffa has long been a star performer for Joseph O'Brien (Niall Carson/PA) 'He's a great horse who put up a real good showing in the Curragh Cup over a new distance for him,' added O'Brien. 'He seemed to cope with the trip well and the Irish St Leger is an obvious target for him now, but we have the option of popping back to Germany or something between now and then, so we'll see how he pulls up and make a plan from there. 'He was second in the Eclipse last year and has a high level of form at a mile and a half and now he can go a mile and six as well it just opens up more options. Really, trying to win another Group One and earn some good prize-money will be our objective before the end of the year.'
