Verdict

ONTOPOFTHEWORLD is improving having come here in January and finding All The Chimneys just too good before reversing the form and beating that rival over the track and trip. He's only been raised 4lb and should follow up. Rolling Rocket was a long way behind in the first of those races and looks held. Bellgrove has only won once in 16 starts over fences and does better on slightly quicker ground while Mr Boss Man has only run three times over fences and will do well to concede weight all round.
