Formscan  - HENRY'S FRIEND built on the foundations of a promising chasing-bow fifth at Doncaster when opening his account over fences at Newbury. A 3lb rise looks more than workable for Ben Pauling's gelding and there should be more to come in this sphere. Rock My Way was far from disgraced on his opening bid over the larger obstacles when second at Plumpton. A Grade 2 winner as a novice hurdler, he isn't taken lightly, with Hardy Fella completing the shortlist.
