Leopolds Rock had a couple of runs on the all-weather last month so won’t lack fitness despite racing over hurdles for the first time since the autumn. The four-year-old Sanitiser, a four-times winner on the Flat, has only had three runs over timber and makes his handicap debut but ARTIC ROW, who beat Fathers Advice at Newcastle last month, is back in the right grade and can resume winning ways.
