Verdict
A dual winner on testing ground in France at the end of last year, ROCK HURLEY makes his handicap debut on his first start for new connections having been sold for €125,000 in January. He may prove good enough in this with Donald McCain’s yard in fine form. Ayr runner-up Foster'sisland looks to be treading water off his current mark while both Willaston and Tap Tap Boom revert to the smaller obstacles and Stony Man’s earlier victory here came in a maiden hurdle.
