Verdict
Individual Race Printouts

Having made it no further than the second flight when unseating his rider on his hurdles bow at Stratford recently, three-time bumper winner Ronnies Rules will need to jump with more fluency. Dan Skelton's gelding is likely to be in the mix if doing so, but useful Flat performer CHARGING THUNDER makes more appeal. The six-year-old won't be found lacking for stamina on his opening bid in this discipline and he looks just the type his trainer excels with. Tarbaan makes most appeal of the remainder.

Top Tip: Charging Thunder (1)
Watch out for: Ronnies Rules (4)
