        Verdict

        Rock On Tommy has placed just the once in nine attempts over hurdles so far. Tara Iti was beaten in a seller here last time and Durragh has had wind surgery since last seen finishing fourth at Worcester in June. SERGEANT is not an easy ride but only found an in-form rival too strong at Ludlow last month having only lost out by a neck at Plumpton earlier so can get back to winning ways.
