Paul Kealy believes classy bumper performer can make up for lost time

Lieutenant Rocco
1.25 Warwick
SP forecast 4-5

Pulled up in first of his two Irish points in race won by the talented Israel Champ, but then finished third in his next one. He was clearly expected to do better on his hurdles debut at Chepstow for Colin Tizzard, however, as he was very well supported (3-1 from 9-2) and never saw another rival, winning by 11 lengths. Gets 4lb from likely market rival.

Conclusion Promising sort but I prefer Stick With Bill.
