Verdict

ROCK ON FRUITY made the most of a lower mark back over timber when scoring at Kelso recently. Ben Haslam’s charge is raised 5lb but was winning off a higher mark over fences earlier this year and can go in again. Planet Nine had a tough race at Ayr on his reappearance when finishing a close-up third in heavy ground but Mount Mews may well improve on his second outing after wind surgery having found one too good over a shorter trip here last time. Hastrubal has yet to win over hurdles in 14 attempts though is still preferred to No Hiding Place and Presence Felt on his comeback.
