ROCK ON ROCCO ran well when third behind a subsequent winner last time out and he can register his first career success by taking division one of the novices' hurdle. The selection can get the better of the penalised Shall We Go Now who was victorious last time out while third place can go to Call Off The Dogs who is likely to appreciate this drop in trip.
