Verdict
This track is a good test for novice chasers but SHANTOU ROCK jumped like the proverbial stag when making all at Newton Abbot and could take some pegging back if allowed an easy lead again under his penalty. Ozzie The Oscar has a rating of 140 over hurdles and is an interesting recruit as he needed his reappearance behind The New One at Ffos Las. Full Irish has won a bumper and a hurdle so should also make a chaser, though this isn't an easy start. Ramonex and Positively Dylan will need to improve on their hurdles for to figure, barring accidents.
