Get Back Get Back had shown good progress in handicap hurdles before ending last year with a below-par effort at Taunton. No Risk Des Flos has every chance on these terms having been narrowly beaten carrying a penalty at Leicester for an earlier success at Kelso but ROCKSTAR RONNIE made no mistake over course and distance last time. Dan Skelton’s charge landed the odds with a facile victory and can shrug off a double penalty to land the hat-trick. The remainder make no appeal unless the newcomer Storming Carlos proves above average.
