With owner David Maxwell still unavailable, Elizabeth Gale keeps the ride on Warwick third Jatiluwih. Apple Rock beat The Changing Man at Taunton in December but the Tizzard runner could reverse that form here off the back of a very good run in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. Tiger Jet was keeping on over a shorter trip at Kelso latest and won twice in the autumn but a change of scenery has done wonders for the confidence of HALIFAX and it would be no surprise to see Grace Harris’ six-year-old reverse Newbury running with Hyland if Conor Ring rides him with more restraint today. Farmer's Gamble looks a thorough stayer and is still improving so looks a threat to all with Itso Fury also worth a second look.
