Favourite could be up against in much better race

Glen Rocco
3.35 Kempton
Sell at 0.75 in match bet with Adrien Du Pont

GLEN ROCCO has been the ante-post favourite for the 888Sport Handicap Chase for a long while and it’s easy to see why as he was an excellent second to Racing Post Arkle hope Glen Forsa at the track over Christmas and then hacked up by 23 lengths when upped to this course and distance in January, writes Paul Kealy.

He clearly has a fine chance if jumping well, but the race he won was full of horses who made mistake after mistake (and he made a few himself) and I just wonder whether it was as good as it looked at the time.
