Verdict

HEADS OR HARPS disappointed on his comeback run at Kelso but he looked a useful prospect when winning over this C&D in March so is worth another chance. Rock On Jet showed promise over C&D on chase bow and is feared most ahead of the veteran Arthur's Quay.

3	Found some improvement fitted with hood when making all in 2m Ayr handicap hurdle in the mud in January. Promising start over fences there the following month (also performed well back hurdling at Hexham when last seen in March; since undergone a wind op) and may well build on that here. 2nd Pick 3 Rock On Jet (Ire) Jockey: Jonathon Bewley Trainer: George Bewley J: Jonathon Bewley T: George Bewley	96	-	-	-	25%
