Verdict

THISONETIME has proved an exasperating horse to follow but this gives him an excellent opportunity to recover losses. He jumped well on his chasing debut here and conditions are favourable. Farm The Rock rates an obvious danger following a good second at Wincanton, but Flaming Charmer has been set a difficult task by the handicapper.
