Verdict
Roque It is visored back over hurdles for the first time since October last year but it’s difficult to get away from HEIGHT OF FAME, who appears to go from strength-to-strength. He is 6lb higher bidding for a five-timer but Harry Kimber claims back half of that. Huntingdon maiden winner Armchair Farmer looks the danger ahead of The Kniphand and the others.
