Verdict
PSYCHEDELIC ROCK has a penalty to carry for his July maiden hurdle success at Worcester, and whilst that would be off-putting upped in grade into novice company, this doesn't appear to be a strong race. Iballisticvin would be a few pounds inferior to fellow hurdles debutant Balancing Time on the Flat, but given he represents local trainer Gary Moore and generally saves his best form for late summer could prove the best option for the forecast.
