A terrific race, and in the hope that the forecast rain eases the ground sufficiently LE ROCHER is the choice in receipt of weight from the three smart performers above him in the handicap. He revels in testing ground. Charbel is a class act and would have a major chance if the rain stays away, while Art Mauresque should go close in a race his yard has won for the last two years. Garde Le Victoire is well handicapped on the pick of his form, and Baron Alco is worth a glance on his return from injury. He is potentially well in if fit enough to do himself justice.
