Verdict

Only 4lb separate top and bottom in this tight handicap. ROCK ON ROCCO landed a novices' hurdle here in February and was a bit unlucky on his chasing debut over 2m2f at Kempton behind Fairway Freddie. He'll be suited by the extra and can reverse form with the winner, who was well beaten into second under a penalty over this trip at Wincanton. Dual hurdles winner Sizing Cusimano produced his best run over fences on heavy going but his stable is in top form. Celtic Joy hasn't progressed from his victory at Kempton last October while Awake At Midnight was beaten a distance on his reappearance at Wetherby but Glance Back landed a Uttoxeter handicap by 10 lengths in March, though does best in testing conditions.
