Quirky type who hasn't placed in five starts to date. Bits and pieces of promise on his reappearance over C&D but took a step backwards when last of nine at Lingfield next time. Has had a short break and dropped 4lb.

Ran well in defeat without ever threatening last time at the end of last season when beaten favourite. Does tend to run consistently though and holds strong place claims once again.

Showed some good form in handicaps predominantly at Chelmsford for a previous handler, but has failed to replicate that for her current yard. Well beaten last time and best watched again.

7/2
His last two performances have been much more like it, including a fairly close fourth at Wolverhampton last time out. Remains on the same mark and could go close here.

Makes her handicap debut having been relatively unimpressive in maiden company. Will need to prove she's on a lenient opening mark, which seems unlikely.

It's a concern that she was pulled up on the all-weather at Chelmsford when last seen but she was running some relatively consistent races before that. Claims if returning to that previous form.

Disqualified last time over C&D having been fourth past the post, but even before the disqualification she seems to have something to find on form. A C&D win in January is a big plus, though.

10/1
Form is a mixed bag but the fact remains that's 0/27. Some of his best performances have come at this course, however, so he's not completely ruled out.

15/2
Very consistent filly who has finished in the first three on all of her most recent six starts. Only won of those was a win, however, and it's possible that the handicapper is keeping just a small bit in front of her.

11/1
0/34 in his career so far but has run some very eye-catching races, including over C&D. Up 1lb for finishing fourth last time seems a little harsh, but he could still be improving.

Been below par in the main since winning a selling handicap at Brighton last summer but better signs behind Hold Firm over 1m at Lingfield on penultimate start. Never fired over 7f there last week, so a change of headgear.

Forecasts

Virile (7/2), Little Indian (5/1), Fleeting Glimpse (6/1), Fabulous Flyer (15/2), Foxford (9/1), Deer Song (10/1), Spirit Of Gondree (10/1), Justice Rock (11/1), Royal Rettie (16/1), Indus Valley (16/1), Staffa (25/1), Wedgewood Estates (25/1)

Verdict

This could finally be the moment that JUSTICE ROCK gets off the mark at the 35th attempt. He continues to run consistently and giving his all despite having had so many career starts for his age, and he was beaten only a neck here last month. He could finally make it to the winner's enclosure today, with Virile, who has been better in his two most recent starts, and the consistent Fabulous Flyer the two most likely to deny him.
  1. Justice Rock
  2. Virile
  3. Fabulous Flyer
