      Verdict

      Pentiffic unseated at last week's Aintree meeting having just got the better of Shrewd Investment to win at Warwick before that. ROCKITEER has won twice over these fences, including his latest start in one of these events. Henry Daly's charge can go in again as though Buck Mulligan is weighted to go close he was beaten out of sight when third at Ascot on his return from a lay-off. Foundry Square failed to get involved in the Foxhunters at Cheltenham last time but had run well for second at Doncaster in February.
