THUNDER ROCK (1) Made ground when closing off to finish 4th last run in a hurdle at Haydock but dropping back to a shorter trip. Among better hopes. MR FREEDOM (8) First up and placed 2nd first up last preparation in a hurdle at Fontwell. Good to see Marc Goldstein is jumping on and racing over more ground. Respect. HOMME PUBLIC (2) Finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start in a chase at Doncaster. Toby Wynne takes the reins today. Winnable race. WEST TO THE BRIDGE (4) Was very impressive when winning by 3 3/4L last time in a hurdle at Wetherby. Amongst the placegetters multiple times this campaign. Large claim helps. Can surprise and by no means out of it.
