Mr Snoozy is penalised for his two victories over hurdles, the latest a seller over an extra two furlongs at Sedgefield in January. He only just failed to complete a double here last month and this is his level. Stilo Blue Native landed a handicap at Sedgefield in November but was beaten in selling company at Catterick while Newstart, who landed a seller on his debut for Brian Ellison here last month, was a disappointment when well supported for a Market Rasen handicap. It's a very long time since BALLYROCK was beaten a length by Fingal Bay in the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury and he's been chasing, scoring at Southwell in October. This will be his first start in this lowest of grades and he's taken to get back on track.
