These are likely the two keys for bookmakers tomorrow. Is it worth taking the risk that they will both win? On balance, I would be against. You are not going to be making a fortune if only the one wins. So often the layers will find something to dig them out.
More Thunder is up in trip, and up 3lbs for losing. Can't help thinking that the Wokingham was one that got away. Only 13 runners this time, but they usually fan out across the track, and held up, you could easily end up chasing the wrong horses. He is probably the one to beat, but the price looks skinny. Archivest has also risen in the weights for making heavy weather of landing the odds last time. You have to hope that the rise in trip will be a big plus. If it isn't then likely it's going to be very difficult. The jock is riding at 8% this season can you really be confident he will get the job done on such a high profile ride? Again the one to beat, but too many risks at that price.
He had three 3yr olds in the 4 day but relies on Archivist, was surprised he was overloading on 3yr olds considering no 3 year old winner albeit from hardly any runners but that in itself speaks against it imo. Haggas record in the last 10 years is 13 runners, 1 winner and 1 place. So a win and place lay imo.

Both horses shortened again today, particularly More Thunder who has been backed as if defeat is out of the question. I can't understand why Ten Pounds is so weak. Questions to be asked if that one bombs.

didnt back either but More Thunder had to forfeit a fair bit of ground and gave 6lb to last year's comfortable winner another furlong or two shouldnt hold much fear for horse so think win can be marked up a bit
