Lacey is usually thereabouts at this level and finished ahead of Honest Strike when second over 2m here last month. Well Owd Man is inconsistent but won over 1m4f on his penultimate start while Nolecce scored off a similar mark over track and trip last year and won over hurdles recently. OLY' ROCCS has won over a mile at the track and stayed 1m4f well enough when second on his latest start. A chance is taken he'll improve further for this longer distance and he gets the vote.
