The two that stand out off the page here are HAZEL HILL and Trafalgar Rock and, while it is never easy to translate point-to-point form to rules, the former has had one or two yardsticks comfortably beaten in the past year, so he could prove up to the task on his rules debut. Trafalgar Rock did well when stepped up to an extreme trip last time, but didn't quite get home and he could be a danger now dropped back a mile. Path To Freedom is another to consider after the winner of his most recent race between the flags went on to win a Warwick hunter chase.
