    Verdict

    Le Rocher had decent form over hurdles, winning a Grade 2 in his younger days. He is getting 11lb from OVERTOWN EXPRESS but also tackling fences for the first time and Harry Fry’s charge was very impressive on his reappearance at Newbury, where he never came off the bridle – a follow-up looks on the cards.
