Rock On Lilly likes to get on with things so will ensure a true-run 2m handicap contest with possibly Hunters Vision and Mister Butler chasing behind the pace of the leader. LOCH LUATHA has produced two solid runs around this distance recently and will look to improve here. Excelli ran well on the Flat last time out and can be given a chance on his return to hurdling while Simiel could grab a place here.
