Juddmonte International Stakes 2026 Betting Odds
The International Handicap at Ascot attracts plenty of quality runners, with More Thunder, Aalto and Arabian Story among the leading contenders. The former has a solid winning track record and the William Haggas-trained four-year-old could be a solid contender. Aalto was runner-up last time and the Ian Williams-trained charge could be a good each-way play.

Classic is another horse that catches the eye, with the runner having bagged a victory last time out and looking to build on that success. Skukuza is also one for the shortlist, with Ed Dunlop training a four-year-old who has run well in the previous two outings. Fifth Column has also gone well in recent encounters.

Is More Thunder an each-way bet to nothing in the International Handicap? The four-year-old was able to score at Newmarket out of a dozen runners a few weeks ago. The horse was sent off as the 6/5 favourite in the bet365 Bunbury Cup when obliging by a nose. This came after a quality performance in the Royal Ascot meeting when being runner-up.
That came when being sent off as the 3/1 market leader in the Wokingham Stakes, with 28/1 outsider Get It pipping the horse on that occasion. This came after successive appearances at Newmarket where a victory was snared both times. Aalto wasn’t far off More Thunder in a previous appearance and we could see a big effort here.
That came after a disappointing display at Newmarket when finishing second last. Arabian Story is a younger adversary which was second last in the Sir Henry Cecil Stakes at Newmarket, with this coming after a win in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot. It was a quality effort that came over the distance of one mile.
Classic is a five-year-old with the potential to go well for Richard Hannon, with that being a victory at Sandown Park in early July. That came in the Coral Challenge over a mile, with that following a second-placed finish at the same track. Skukuza was a winner at the Curragh in late June and will now be bidding for a third successive triumph.
