FormscanBy Gary Carson - THUNDEROSA looks interesting here on his first outing in handicap company over fences. The Westerner gelding won three over hurdles last year, ending up on a mark of 126 over timber. He races off a 10lb lower mark over fences with Paddy O'Hanlon also taking off a useful 7lb. This is an easier task now after running in a couple of hot beginners chases recently. He has plenty of jumping experience from point-to-points. Ragnar Lodbrok chased home a stablemate of the selection at Punchestown on New Year's Eve when second to cosy winner Lord Lariat. Off just a 2lb higher mark he's entitled to be a big player here. Sovereign Gold who was behind Ragnar Lodbrok when third last time is another that has to come into the mix.%0A
