11/4

Good 3L second to an in form rival when contesting a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Hexham (good) last time out. Bit to find on hurdles ratings with sole rival on chase debut.

Form: P0-1332

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

1/4

Showed some decent form over hurdles including when winning off a mark of 125 in April last year. Fair fourth over 3m1f at Warwick (good) last time out and looks the one to beat on chase debut.

Form: 1/3PP5-4

Forecasts

Rocky's Treasure (1/4), Judge Earle (11/4)

ROCKY'S TREASURE has a bit in hand on his sole rival on hurdles ratings and he is taken to make a winning debut over fences in this opening novices' chase. Judge Earleis a winner over hurdles but may have to give best to his sole rival on his first outing over the larger obstacles.
