3m 1f
Going: Good to Soft (Soft in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneA case can be made for several of these in this open contest but a chance is taken on ROQUE IT, who made an encouraging start to his chasing career when scoring at Taunton. The son of Presenting was given a 6lb rise for that success and he can defy his new mark in this higher grade. Butterwick Brook got the better of The Devils Drop by a length over this C&D when last seen and both are unlikely to be far away here, while Favori De Sivola is also considered after his gutsy win at Exeter.
