      In depth

      Verdict

      Nero Rock is very experienced over fences compared to his rivals but is flattered by his form figures. ZACONY REBEL jumped well enough on his chasing debut at Fontwell to suggest he’ll have a future over fences and he can defy a 5lb rise to end the winning run of Minella Plus. Moriko De Vassy is a half-brother to a winning chaser so worth a market check but Notlongtillmay doesn’t have a chasing pedigree.
