Rocky's Treasure is a bit of an enigma but capable on his day. Reve’s presence also helps keep the weight down for his stable companion Dreamsundermyfeet, who is a real course specialist. Huntingdon third Boughtbeforelunch and PERCUSSION are other course winners and it’s the latter who gets the nod despite a step up in distance off a 9lb higher mark. He jumped really well here last month and will again sport a tongue-tie and cheekpieces. Generator City can figure if sorting out his jumping but Roque It has been a bit disappointing since winning at Taunton in November.
