Horses for courses: One track specialist for every meeting on Thursday
3 hours ago
Plenty of interesting types in this contest, none more so than Micky Hammond’s BLUE THUNDER, who was a course and distance winner off seven pounds higher back in 2015. He’s been lightly raced since and has shown signs of his old spark in recent starts, not suiting the ground at Ripon on his latest outing. The handicapper has given him a big chance on the back of that run and with firmer ground just the ticket for him, he’s got strong claims of outrunning his odds.
