Verdict
The ground has come right for ROCK ON OSCAR. He had just the one start last year when placed at Chepstow but looks on a decent mark in this modest contest as he returns to action. Theo's Charm has been in fair form over timber this year though has yet to win over fences in six attempts while Antony has slid down the weights and could also go well. Bishops Court won at Wincanton on Boxing Day but has failed to complete subsequently while Junction Fourteen drops in class and is preferred to Solstice Son.
