Stevie Thunder hasn't raced over hurdles since November 2012 and is still a maiden. But he's been in action on the all-weather lately and must have every chance in this lowly grade. Powertakeoff only won a seller at Fakenham last month while Heurtevent was pulled up at Ayr last time when sent off favourite. WOM was placed three times here in the autumn off similar marks and will be all the better for last week's fifth at Stratford over a trip too far. He may enjoy a fitness advantage over Wintered Well so gets the nod with Mister Frosty probably best of the rest.
