Pique Rock^h⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: H D Daly| OR: 119| D

4/6

Mare has twice scored in novice hurdles since joining this trainer last summer, two excellent efforts in defeat since going chasing; latest neck-second at Leicester (2m4f, good to firm) suggesting it won't be long before she's off the mark.

Barton Rose¹³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 102| D

5/2

10-year-old mare for whom 2018 brought some consistent efforts but no wins. Third of five over C&D in November when last spotted and she has twice won over fences off a short layoff so well worth paying attention now.

Pembroke House^p²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 95

9/2

Now 12-years-old and strike rate of 2-35 as a chaser tells its own tale. Consistent sort (placed 14 times over fences), but liable to settle for minor money.

Forecasts

Pique Rock (4/6), Barton Rose (5/2), Pembroke House (9/2), Vocaliser (13/2)

PIQUE ROCK has produced some excellent efforts in defeat since going chasing, notably a close second at Leicester last time. This appears a suitable chance for Henry Daly's mare to open her account. Barton Rose has a habit of going well off a short break and will keep her honest while consistent veteran Pembroke House can edge out Vocaliser behind them.
