It's very hard to get away from the high quality form shown by BEDROCK in finishing third in top company at the Aintree Festival last month. If he's anywhere near the same form here he should take some stopping. Celestial Path, a smart Flat horse in his time, is more than capable of winning races over hurdles and may be the biggest threat if building on his latest effort, but still has something to find with the selection. Imperial Eloquence did well in bumpers and may do better now going hurdling, while both Copernicus and Nicely Indeed have the potential to win races.
