EROS shaped as if back in form when third at Exeter earlier in the month, left behind by the first 2 only on the run-in, and having dropped another 1 lb, he could be ready to get off the mark. Rock Of Star could yet do better after only 3 starts over fences and is feared most, ahead of Stumps Or Slips on his chase debut.
