Formscan - A competitive renewal sees a chance taken on THUNDER ROCK, who returns to this sphere for the first time since April 2022. Olly Murphy's runner has progressed nicely over the larger obstacles and, with the benefit of a break after struggling to land a blow in the Bowl at Aintree, he is fancied to make it five wins out of seven over hurdles. Sandor Clegane has yet to get off the mark over fences and last year's Albert Bartlett third should be seen to better effect back over timber. Dashel Drasher, who finished third 12 months ago, is the highest rated of these, while Kateira comes right into the reckoning too.

Quotes on Sandor Clegane (IRE)
He is a horse that gets into a nice rhythm and jumps well, he was probably jumping too well to that hurdle (second-last) and he just met it on a half stride. A bit of a guess just when we were starting to get rolling. Overall, he's a good jumper and it was a good performance. The two of us (Three Card Brag) probably were in the same boat in that we wanted a nice gallop, but neither of us were really mad to make it. We went along upsides and we went a nice, even gallop all the way. It kind of suited both of us and, in fairness, this lad picked up nicely into the straight. It is beautiful ground - it is just yielding, it isn't any slower. It is lovely jumping ground. We didn't declare for the Grade 1, we had a talk and some were for it and some against it. If he wasn't going to win this, he wasn't going to win the Grade 1 in an hour's time. Why take on a horse rated 10lb above you? He'd won one maiden hurdle and is the best horse we have in the yard, so it's nice to get another win with him. He'd prefer easier ground, it's as nice as he'd want it, but it's lovely ground and the track looks fantastic. Next to my father Dan Browne is the greatest gentleman I ever met and is a great supporter for the yard. I delighted for Jim Coffey and all the lads involved. It means an awful lot for every trainer to win here and thanks be to God we got one. We'll probably start off over two-and-a-half over fences next season and build it up. Please God it will lead to Cheltenham again. It's nice
