Rock Bottom¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 63| D

8/11

Ran well at a big price on debut over 7f and followed that up with a fair effort at Lingfield next time. Won over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton last time and sets a solid standard on form here.

Form: 331

Rock Party^b1¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Winston| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 54

14/1

Showed some ability for Kevin Ryan but she's disappointed in two starts for this yard and still a maiden after a total of eight runs. Has something to find on form in first-time blinkers.

Form: 562405

(3)

Scale Force⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

7/4

Hasn't shown much in his three starts to date, most recently when well beaten at Doncaster. Needs to learn to settle better.

Form: 367

(2)

Haggswood Boy^e/s1¹²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 28

66/1

Tailed off on each of his three starts on turf. Impossible to fancy on what he's shown to date. Makes Fibresand debut in first-time eye-shield.

Form: 900

(5)

Chillon Castle¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: D O'Meara

14/1

Showed some promise on her only start to date, finishing sixth behind re-opposing Rock Bottom. May struggle to reverse form with that one but capable of going well.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Rock Bottom (8/11), Scale Force (7/4), Rock Party (14/1), Chillon Castle (14/1), Haggswood Boy (66/1)

He may have to concede weight to all here but ROCK BOTTOM sets a solid standard on form, has Fibresand experience and is expected to be hard to beat here. Chillon Castle was in behind the selection last time and may be able to finish a little closer now while Scale Force can't be entirely ruled out on Fibresand debut.
