GLEN ROCCO was hugely impressive over C&D last season when winning by 23L and surely value for plenty more. Up 13lb for that and in a tougher contest he is nevertheless hard to oppose and gets the vote today. Rather Be has been a little frustrating this season but there have been valid excuses and he is worth serious consideration here upped to 3m for the first time. Talkischeap like the selection is a novice seemingly on the up and he too merits serious respect.
