Race preview
ROCK HOUSE had been running with credit this season over hurdles before finding the Morebattle at Kelso a step too far. The combination of a switch to fences and a drop in class may well help Dan Skelton's gelding in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Idy Wood should be a lot happier back on a sounder surface after his latest effort at Chepstow. Ostrava Du Berlais completes the shortlist.
