      In depth

      Verdict

      Laveroque, runner-up to Rock On Ruby in a Cheltenham Listed bumper in November 2010, finished tailed off in the Aintree Bumper last April and hasn't been seen since. He's one to keep an eye on here and Bold Henry ran well enough behind Claret Cloak at Newbury last month to suggest he's on the upgrade. CALL BACK had shown plenty of potential in bumpers and on his hurdling debut at Ludlow and could hardly have been more impressive in landing a similar race to this at Bangor, coming home 17 lengths clear. He should have few problems following up as the remainder will all need to improve on what they have shown so far to get involved.
