THUNDER ROCK has made a fine start over fences, building on his Uttoxeter success with a career-best display at Ascot in November. Well worth his place at this higher level he can make it 3-3 in this sphere, with Monmiral feared most on the back of his fine chase debut second behind Jonbon. The likeable Beauport completes the shortlist.
