The consistent INDIROCCO is sure to give another good account of himself and is taken to score at Exeter on Tuesday.
The nine-year-old has not been out of the first three in his last seven starts, although five of those were in point-to-points. My selection shaped well when second of six under regular rider Gina Andrews to the veteran but still useful Marracudja in a Leicester Hunter Chase over two miles six-and-a-half furlongs earlier this month.
And he could fare even better over the three-mile trip of Tuesday's Totnes And Bridgetown Races Company Ltd Novices' Hunters' Chase.
At Wetherby, CASTLE ROBIN (3.46) is fancied to notch up his third win in five attempts over fences in the Every Race Live On Racing TV Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase. Last time out, the Charlie Longsdon-trained seven-year-old impressed in winning a three-mile handicap chase at Doncaster.
My selection travelled well throughout before landing the spoils under Sean Quinlan by four-and-a-quarter lengths from Geryville, despite making a mistake at the last. The latter has since franked the form by winning at Newcastle. Castle Robin has been raised only 2lb for his victory, and can go in again.
