Verdict

Henry Daly's Rockiteer finally opened his account over fences when landing a handicap chase at Market Rasen at the beginning of the month and, while he has every chance and the benefit of plenty of chasing experience, he may struggle to follow up that last time out success. Tim Vaughan's Walamo also has a penalty to carry following his earlier win at the Lincolnshire venue last month and has twice been beaten since then under a penalty so a better bet may prove to be AGENTE ROMANO. The Evan Williams-trained gelding lacks any chasing experience which is of some concern but the five-year-old has shown a decent level of form over hurdles and he will take plenty of beating if able to reproduce hurdling form over the larger obstacles. The other runner in the field, Night Orbit, makes limited appeal.
