Verdict
LE ROCHER made a winning start over fences when successful at Exeter just 10 days ago and needs only a clear round of jumping to land this. Nick Williams’ charge can cruise round at his own pace and has more to fear from lack of concentration than either Royal Act or Sussex Road given the latter pair have yet to show any worthwhile form between them.
