Verdict

FANASTIC ROCK pulled clear of the rest when runner-up here 11 days ago and is taken to go one better over this longer trip. Doncaster-scorer Erne River is respected under a penalty with further improvement on the cards, while Rattle Owl is also worth a second look now moving up to a more suitable distance for his hurdle debut.
