Formscan - Thunder Rock switches to the hunter chase sphere in a bid to regain some confidence having lost his way over hurdles. Despite winning twice in Listed company over fences at his best, his jumping was never the most assured and last year's winner MR GLASS gets the vote. The 10-year-old relished similar conditions 12 months ago and has every chance of making it back-to-back victories. Illico De Cotte and Pyleigh Court complete the shortlist.
