Verdict

AL ROC has been running, and winning, off much higher marks over fences and will be hard to beat if transferring that improvement to hurdles. Tulin is probably the danger dropped a further 2lb since his third at Worcester as Chapmanshype still looks in the handicapper’s grip. Hypnotik has had wind surgery since making his UK debut in May and Every Breakin Wave has had the same operation but hasn’t raced since September.
