Fantastic Rock (4/5), Erne River (9/4), Franks Fancy (3/1), Tara Mill (7/2), Stormin Norman (4/1), Rattle Owl (15/2), Son Of The Somme (16/1), Glory (50/1), Eveque (100/1), Faraday Effect (150/1), St Basil (200/1)

FANASTIC ROCK pulled clear of the rest when runner-up here 11 days ago and is taken to go one better over this longer trip. Doncaster-scorer Erne River is respected under a penalty with further improvement on the cards, while Rattle Owl is also worth a second look now moving up to a more suitable distance for his hurdle debut.
