Roc De Prince had slipped down the weights before recording his first win over fences when successful at Hexham last time. He's 7lb higher today and THROTHETHATCH (NAP) makes more appeal as he scored at Perth on his chasing debut and there should be much more to come from Lucinda Russell's charge over fences. Carnaross has been running well over timber and makes his chasing bow along with Seventeen Black, a winner over timber at Perth in May.
