ALTA ROCK opened his account over hurdles when scoring at a huge price over C&D last month. However, it was no fluke as he ran out a ready winner on that occasion and looks capable of defying a penalty in this company. Cygnet looks best of the remainder judged on his recent fourth at Hereford, though he's closely matched with Dontupsettherhythm on their running at Doncaster before that. Nalim and Rebel Flag have yet to show any worthwhile form and are best watched for now.
