Rock The World ran poorly in the Grade 1 Manifesto at Aintree but his previous placed effort in the Grand Annual puts him right in the picture and his stable is flying. Mr Fiftyone also represents the yard though an absence since September is off-putting. Jacksonslady won this a year ago in good style though she'd already had a run unlike this time. She's been absent since October and Barry Geraghty prefers the owner's Bold Henry, well beaten in this a year ago but the winner of a tough Sandown handicap on heavy going in January. Sizing Codelco has twice unseated his rider at the first but has shown enough when getting round that he could be a threat while Bright New Dawn is always capable of popping up though his two chase victories have been in small fields. DAYS HOTEL has won six races over fences and been placed nine times, almost always in Grade 2 company. He's used to carrying big weights and is taken to gain another success.
