Verdict

ROCK OF STAR is related to chase winners and ran respectably on his first completed start over fences when fourth at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve, so he could the answer from 2 lb lower mark back down in trip. Midnight Midge is sure to be on the premises if backing up his latest effort, while Harlem Soul also warrants respect given his excellent course record.

  2. MIDNIGHT MIDGE
  3. HARLEM SOUL
