Twice-raced Dubawi colt, still looked rather in need of the experience at Thirsk (1m, good) last time, should have more to offer in time.

Fastnet Rock colt, cost 150,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to two winners and dam a Listed winner. Runner-up in 1m Newmarket maiden on debut and likely to have strong aspirations of going one better here.

Third in Newmarket seller on debut last season for Marco Botti but shown precious little in four starts for current yard and looks up against it once again.

Verdict

ROCK FORCE made a good impression when second on debut at Newmarket in April and if fancied to take the beating here on his first outing six. That form has worked out quite well, with a clutch of winner (six) coming from the beaten horses and Tom Dascombe's charge should be improved for it. Joie De Vivre finished a fair third on debut this month at Carlisle and can offer more while Extra Large will fare better once shedding the greenness of his first two starts. Collide is a son of Frankel and has to make some appeal on paper, with a betting check called for.
