Verdict

A deserved first taste of success under Rules could be on the cards for EL ROJO GRANDE, who has found just one too good on three of his last four starts. Disco Annie has to enter calculations off this reduced mark and she is next best ahead of chasing debutant Hawk Stone and Flashy Boy, who is making his debut over fences following a 15-month absence.

1	Won twice over hurdles at Carlisle last term and kicked off this season with a decent fifth of 10 in a handicap chase there in November. Safely held back hurdling at Aintree (2½m, good) 3 weeks ago but she has been given a chance by the handicapper and returning to this trip will help. 2nd Pick 1 Disco Annie (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Maggs Trainer: Rebecca Menzies J: Charlie Maggs T: Rebecca Menzies	94	-	-	-	29%

3	Opened hurdles account at Uttoxeter in April 2024. Failed to fire in handful of appearances last term but there was greater spark in his reappearance effort in first-time blinkers (retained) at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) and, a chaser on looks, he's interesting off this mark now switched to fences. 3rd Pick 3 Hawk Stone (Ire) Jockey: James Best Trainer: Harriet Dickin J: James Best T: Harriet Dickin	93	-	-	-	12%
