2.20 Off Your Rocco 1/2 pt ew @ 28’1 firms offering 6 places – Shaped ok I thought at Cheltenham before the hill and the soft ground took its toll late on. Nothing wrong with the mark and of such a low weight from a stable with a decent record in this has to be of interest
2.55 Hullnback 1/2 pt ew @ 10’1 firms offering 4 places – Ran a great race when runner up in the Group 2 bumper here last season. Looks the type with plenty more to offer going up in grade after two very easy wins
3.30 Millers Bank 1/2 pt ew @ 10’1 firms offering 3 places – Has a very good record in Grade 1’s at this venue and looks of strong interest back here once again
4.05 Haut En Couleurs 3/4 pt ew @ 12’1 firms offering 6 places (NAP) – Very smart chaser who fell in Kinloch Brae Chase in January (looked likely winner) and no disgrace in losing out to stablemate Janidil in Grade 2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran on penultimate start. Again ran well when fifth in the Plate a month ago and another bold showing seems highly likely
4.40 Apple Away 1/2 pt ew @ 12’1 firms offering 4 places – Irish point winner who made a successful hurdling/Rules debut at Bangor in September and has continued to progress since, latest when taking 5-runner listed hurdle at Doncaster last month. Yard took this with Ahoy Senor 2 years ago and she is an interesting contender
