This looks a good opportunity for OLD HARRY ROCKS. He drops in class after modest efforts in handicap hurdles and is clear of the opposition on today’s terms. Searching won a maiden hurdle back in May and has plenty in hand at the weights with the likes of Sky of Stars and Luca Brazi while Cooperess didn’t fare too badly on her recent hurdling debut though Petit Filous is rated higher on the Flat and goes hurdling for the first time.
