Bolister had finished second over 2m here before disappointing over today’s longer trip at Market Rasen and has something to prove over the distance now. A bumper winner for Willie Mullins, ITSONLYROCKNROLL (NAP) has tumbled 18lb down the weights since joining Chris Gordon’s yard. He was in the process of running a decent race when falling at Fontwell recently and gets another chance here with a clear round. Midnight Jitterbug is another on the slide though was never threatened when third at Taunton recently while Golden Cannon is only 3lb higher than when scoring over track and trip n November and will appreciate today’s fast ground.
