Verdict
Only four runners in this but it’s usually worth opposing Pembroke House, though he’s only a pound higher than when scoring at Ludlow last May. Vocaliser arrives in woeful form so this may rest between Pique Rock, twice a winner over hurdles this season and just beaten in a chase at Leicester in February, and the returning BARTON ROSE. Charlie Longsdon’s mare is twice a winner over fences and 2lb lower than when last successful – she is getting 17lb from the less-experienced top weight.
