THUNDERSTRUCK had nothing more to give when The Raven’s Return swept by at Sandown in November but still hung on to second spot and the winning pointer can go one better today. Blazer's Mill and Thegallantway are other interesting recruits from the point-to-point circuit while Floki met trouble in-running at Warwick and can be forgiven that effort. Newcomers Piggy Winkle and Piggy Winkle are worth monitoring for any market support.
