Verdict

Although RYAN'S ROCKET has gained his hurdle wins around 2m his pedigree and a 3m point success at the start of his career suggest he can go on to even better things over longer trips. Dan Skelton's Juventus du Brion showed plenty of promise in 2 outings last season and is feared most ahead of the more-established pair Flying Fortune and Intense Approach.
