Verdict

Rockstar Ronnie won a maiden point in September with something to spare. He’s since joined Dan Skelton and has to be of interest on his debut under Rules. Unit Sixtyfour has also shown ability between the flags while Onward Route will have learned plenty from his third at Newcastle. DOMAINE DE L’ISLE developed into a useful chaser last season but things haven’t quite gone to plan so far this term. Placed in three of four previous hurdle starts, he has been found a decent opportunity here. A Large One was a surprise winner at Catterick and the second has disappointed since so he may be facing a stiff task under a penalty.
