Verdict

THUNDER ROCK is probably just a fairly useful chaser these days but that level may still suffice in this sphere having found only one too good here 4 weeks ago. Cheekpieces may help Mr Glass get back on track, with Fan de Blues likely to give it another good go.

2	Very smart chaser at his peak. Still with his leading yard and well below that level over hurdles in more recent times. Very easy to back but stuck to his task when runner-up on hunter debut over 25f here 4 weeks ago. Looks the one to beat. 1st Pick 2 Thunder Rock (Ire) Jockey: Mr James King Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Mr James King T: Olly Murphy	100	-	-	-	84%

4	Under the care of Will Biddick when winning a 25f course hunter in January 2025. Might have found the run coming too soon when pulled up at Leicester a fortnight later but was disappointing in repeat bid here back with Paul Nicholls last month. Cheekpieces added. 2nd Pick 4 Mr Glass (Ire) Jockey: Miss Olive Nicholls Trainer: Paul Nicholls J: Miss Olive Nicholls T: Paul Nicholls	99	-	-	-	19%

5	Smart handicap chaser for Willie Mullins in 2022/23. Showed he retains a fair level of ability for new stable, placed again at Taunton having undergone a breathing operation last month. 3rd Pick 5 Fan De Blues (Fr) Jockey: Mr Daniel Williams Trainer: Miss Nikki Henton J: Mr Daniel Williams T: Miss Nikki Henton	91	-	-	-	19%
