HURRICANE ROCK won a handicap over course and distance in August and went close again at Chelmsford last time. He’s just preferred to Treagus, a runner-up on his last couple of outings including at Brighton last week. Princess Way has been thereabouts without looking like winning and La Fortuna is less exposed than most while the likes of Hisar, Rapid Rise, Permanent and Seebring have all tumbled down the weights.
