        In depth

        Verdict

        Rosco will be all the better for his recent outing here, his first for 16 months. He is well treated on old form and must be in with a shout if he retains some ability. Double Account provided something of a shock when winning at Kempton after an absence of over a year. Providing this doesn't come too quickly, he should still be competitive off this revised mark. However, the vote goes to Avalanche, who returns to timber on a much lower mark than he has been running off over fences. A likeable sort, he will again be ridden by Mick Fitzgerald, who was on board last time and the only reservation would be if the ground dried out too much.
