All six wins have come at this track including over C&D on good-to-firm ground in April. Not beaten far when fifth over 1m2f at Sandown (good-to-soft) on his penultimate outing and races off a mark 1lb higher than for that latest success here.

Racing in amateur riders contests recently finishing runner-up over 1m1f at Goodwood (good) in June but disappointing the last twice. Others make more appeal here.

HARBOUR ROCK made a satisfactory handicap debut when runner-up last time and can gain his second career success tackling this trip for the first time today. The selection ran well here last October when runner-up in a maiden and he can take this from Berengaria who wasn't beaten far when finishing fifth last time out while Brighton regular Roy Rocket can claim third today.
