Verdict

BEDROCK sets the standard on form here and a recent wind operation may be the answer to why he's disappointed on his last two starts. The Steward is the main danger having made a promising start to life over hurdles last time and he gets a stone in weight from the selection. The Road Home is useful when he gets his own way in front and is likely to prove best of the rest.
