Race preview
SALVADOR ZIGGY initiated a summer hurdling four-timer when landing a maiden at this venue just over a year ago and his standout effort over the smaller obstacles was when chasing home Good Time Jonny in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. He disappointed in a Grade 1 at the Festival meeting here in April but gets the vote to make a winning start over fences. Hubrisko is rated nearly a stone inferior to the selection over hurdles. He made mistakes when third at Tipperary last month but should have learned plenty from that chasing debut. Caesar Rock was second to the smart Panda Boy over C&D last year and has run two sound races since returning from a winter break. This will be his ninth chase start and he's likely to be ridden forward to try and put that experience to good use.
