Verdict
Hazzaar was having only his second outing over fences when runner-up at Exeter. But SHIROCCAN ROLL wasn’t far behind in third place on his chasing debut and having won twice over hurdles, Emma Lavelle’s charge can reverse running and come out best. Falcon Sun has won off a higher mark over timber in the past while Presentandcounting and Touchthesoul are both worth a second glance taking on the larger obstacles.
