Verdict

MUSKERRY ROCK failed to land the odds back over hurdles on his British debut at Fontwell last week but he didn't do a lot wrong having conceded first run to the winner so remains of firm interest. Cinderello is progressing well and may not have reached her ceiling yet, while Klervia is worth another try at this trip.
