Verdict

Nero Rock finally opened his account over the larger obstacles here last week but that has earned him a penalty and LUCKY ONE was a better hurdler and is receiving 7lb less Theo Gillard’s claim - the latter can make successful switch to fences. Eskendash only won a claiming hurdle at Catterick and is 0-11 in chases.
