The market will probably be the best guide for this but Indian Secret and the filly Miss Maiden Over are both related to winning jumpers, though both may need further than this in time. OPERA ROCK is a half-brother to a winning hurdler so Venetia Williams' charge gets a tentative vote with Charlie Deutsch's claim probably a plus. Thisonetime was denied a winning opportunity by the weather at Sedgefield yesterday and will be fancied to gain quick compensation.
