Verdict
Plenty can be considered but QUEENS ROCK (NAP) could not have won more easily at Doncaster and almost certainly has more to offer after just three starts over hurdles. Trip and ground should be ideal for the Henderson charge and she's taken to defy joint topweight before hopefully progressing further. Runswick Bay looked a likely winner last time but failed to get past Mullinaree on the run-in. Like the selection, he has forecast conditions to suit and should be in the mix. Jaramillo landed his first hurdling success at Sedgefield but this looks tougher and he's 6lb higher, and therefore the likes of course and distance winner, Sami Bear, the in-form Cherry Cola and the open-to-improvement Moveit Like Minnie appeal as likelier sorts.
