A lot of this rests on a recent race where Rocket Ronnie was second at a huge price with CHALLICO back in fourth. It's difficult to tell if that form is fully reliable, with the short-priced favourite beaten into third, and Paul Nicholls' representative is taken to reverse form here. His reopposing rival did impress on that occasion given his price and was clearly underrated in the market. Now with a run under his belt to aid his fitness, the selection can build on the promise shown when winning a bumper last year and get his head back in front. Rasasee is the only one of these to have won over hurdles so far and also needs considering under a penalty.
