The Boss's Dream (5/2), Carlo Rocks (11/4), Tanacando (4/1), Eddy (5/1), Magic Mustard (11/1), The Boola Bee (11/1), Rollerball Rocco (20/1), Up The Drive (25/1)

UP THE DRIVE showed ability when placed in a point-to-point and representing a top yard he is taken to get off the mark on his first start over fences. The selection should appreciate this step up in distance and drop in grade and he can see off his rivals here with top weight The Boss's Dream taken to finish runner-up ahead of the mare The Boola Bee who has placed on both previous chase starts.
