In depth
Verdict
Nicky Henderson boasts a 50 per cent strike rate with his bumper horses here and FREE THINKING can add to his tally. The Hernando mare had no trouble justifying favouritism on her debut on the Polytrack at Kempton in December. Rising Teal showed promise when fourth at Newbury while Supreme Present didn't run badly at Warwick after winning at Uttoxeter but Just Walking Jack is now tried in blinkers and Genes Quest isn't getting any better. Fancy Act and Siksika are probably the most interesting newcomers.
