Not So Prudent showed promise when second at Uttoxeter in December but was pulled up on a subsequent start at Towcester. Hommage A Bach was beaten a long way on his debut under Rules at Fakenham and sports a pair of blinkers here so there seems no reason to oppose GALAXY ROCK, despite his penalty. Jonjo O'Neill's seven-year-old made in third-time lucky over fences when beating Flight Leader by six lengths at Ffos Las in January and none of his rivals here can boast that level of performance.
