In depth
Verdict
KITTEN ROCK has a tremendous strike-rate on the Flat and over hurdles but so far hasn't transferred that ability to chasing. However, he's one of three owned by J P McManus at the top of the handicap and Mark Walsh is on board so better must be expected. The lightly-raced hurdles winner Ferocious has a chance at his best but Fill The Tank has yet to win under Rules and was well beaten when runner-up at Limerick. Robin De Roost has been in good form between the flags and is on a nice mark but Rolling Revenge hasn't run well for some time.
