THICKTHORN TOM's last 2 efforts suggest he's got a race like this in him. Roi du Roume shaped with some encouragement in a pair of handicap hurdles last month and a point win suggests he may step forward again now chasing. It's A Breeze looked to be going okay when coming down 4 out on his chase debut.
