Night Fever finished behind Sorceress Medea on hurdling debut at Worcester but will know more today. ROCKED UP did well to finish second at Stratford considering she was far from foot-perfect. If she jumps better here, she has every chance of going one better as she may just have a bit more scope than Uttoxeter runner-up Last Of A Legend. Villanesque has won her last two between the flags but was tailed off on her only previous run under Rules.
