Verdict

A cracking Hunter Chase in prospect to close out the card Down Royal winner FOXROCK might well be the answer. He was an easy winner last time out and is a more trusted performer than On His Own these days. The latter did win a point last time out however and clearly has the talent to take his order in this sphere if he's in the mood. First Lieutenant also ran well between the flags last month but former Cheltenham Festival scorer Salsify is entitled to need this run. 1. Foxrock 2. First Lieutenant 3. On His Own
