Verdict
Rocco Storm won off this mark over fences at Sedgefield but he’s not managed a single place in 13 starts over hurdles and Edmond Dantes is 0-14. Heavy going is a plus for veteran SERIOUS EGO, who would have a cracking chance on his third at Carlisle in the spring. He was 3lb higher in the weights when a close fourth here later and Conor Rabbitt claims 5lb. By contract, conditions may be too testing for Ingennio, who is tried in cheekpieces. Bouncing Bobby may also struggle on the ground.
