Thunderstruck found only one too good making his debut under Rules at Sandown and it would be no surprise to see the winning pointer go one better in this with that run under his belt. But CAGE OF FEAR, a £50,000 son of Milan who is a half-brother to three winning jumpers, also looks a useful recruit from the point-to-point ranks and hails from a yard with an impressive strike-rate in bumpers with similar types. Orrisdale is an Oscar gelding who cost €125,000 in 2017 and should also have a future. Farrants Way, who also runs in the Hemmings colours, was third at Uttoxeter in December but still beaten more than 30 lengths.
