Aalto proves his Bunbury expertise once again

Aalto obliged favourite-backers to both avenge last year’s narrow defeat and regain the Betway Bunbury Cup at Newmarket.
Ian Williams’ six-year-old has a real affinity with the July course and in particular this contest, having won the seven-furlong event in great style in 2024 and finding only William Haggas’ top-class operator More Thunder a nose too good 12 months ago.
Ridden by William Buick, the 4-1 market leader had a wall of horses ahead of him entering the final quarter-mile but once finding daylight the HQ regular stormed home to score by half a length from chief market rival Back In Black.
Aalto was leading home a one-four for both Williams and the owners, with stablemate Supido fourth.
