Verdict

Old Harry Rocks was only beaten a head on his chasing bow at Newton Abbot on Saturday and races off the same mark. He has obvious claims if this doesn’t come too soon but stable companion General Bux has already won over the larger obstacles. TRAFALGAR ROCK has won over hurdles and on the Flat and also raced in points. He hinted at ability over fences last summer and will have needed a recent spin over timber.
