Even off a big weight ROCK OF LEON looks very much the one to beat here. He was only just beaten in a handicap hurdle last time out, and with recent form in selling company as well as a liking for this type of ground, everything points to a very big run from Philip Kirby's representative. Of the others, Wintour Leap and Torrent Des Mottes look likely to be the main dangers.
