Verdict
Inch Rock finished ahead of Mountain Cliche and Brandy And Red at Stafford Cross last moth. Honourable Exit arrives off the back of a victory at Upcott Cross but Ballinaclasha Lad’s second at Flete Park looks better point-to-point form. COLORADO ROC has twice got the better of Inch Rock this year and would have completed his hat-trick in an Open at Pyle last month had he not unseated his rider at the last – compensation awaits here with a clear round.
