ROCKLANDER sets the form standard on his third in the Close Brothers at the Cheltenham Festival. This is a sizeable ease in level on that so if he can repeat that form, he is very much the one to beat. Midnight Shot was well beaten at both Cheltenham and Aintree where the ground will have been plenty soft for him. Conditions here will be much more to his liking, he looks the biggest danger with Beggar’s Wishes another to arrive in form, though not so in love with such a quick surface.
