Virgin Bet Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

The form of HOPEWELL ROCK\'S comeback run after 175 days off the track has already been franked at this meeting. He was beaten just over a length by Daiquiri Bay and Gamrai, who went on to finish first and second in yesterday\'s Copper Horse Stakes.

That gives the form a very solid look, and with that run under his belt, this Wathnan Racing runner is bound to come on again. Racing off a mark of 101, he still looks fairly treated and should be capable of taking another step forward.

With bookmakers paying five places, he looks a very solid each-way proposition in what should be another competitive contest.
