Rumble Of Thunder has shown enough to suggest he can pick up a race of this nature and finished fifth when JUKEBOX MELODY was pulled up on his hurdling debut at Kelso. But the latter ran wide and refused to settle that day and made amends in no uncertain terms over C&D earlier this month when Andreo Bambaleo was back in third. Already a winner of a couple of bumpers, Malcolm Jefferson's five-year-old should continue to improve and can defy his penalty. The others are impossible to recommend on what they've shown so far on the racecourse.
