CRIQ ROCK (NAP) won bumpers at Bangor and Ascot last autumn and goes well fresh. He wasn't disgraced in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March and collateral form in that sphere gives him the beating of One Of Us. Artifice Sivola got off the mark over hurdles in a handicap at Kempton in April but is better known as a chaser and lacks the scope of the selection. Chap is making only slow progress while Chilli Romance was beaten 20 lengths on her hurdles bow and is now tried in headgear.
