1/2
Promising debut third and ran to a similar level after 4 months off without yet looking the finished article when runner-up at Chelmsford 13 days ago. The one to beat with improvement anticipated.

Golden Horn colt. Closely related to 11f-13f winner African Fable and half-brother to winner up to 10.5f First Priority. Noteworthy newcomer.

100,000 gns Lope De Vega colt who shaped as if in need of the experience when third on debut at Newcastle back in September. Below that effort there next time and may need this run after a break.

Twice-raced maiden who showed a bit more than on debut after 8 months off when seventh of 13 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Should have more to offer.

Forecasts

Highland Rocker (1/2), Overthink (5/2), Can Can Girl (10/1), Aletoile (16/1), Silver Gunn (18/1)

Verdict

This looks a fine opportunity for HIGHLAND ROCKER to open his account at the third attempt having shown fairly useful form in a couple of starts on the all-weather so far. He remains open to improvement and should be tough to beat with a run under his belt. Overthink looks a noteworthy newcomer on paper for Mark Johnston and gets the vote for second, ahead of Aletoile.

  1. HIGHLAND ROCKER (FR)
  2. OVERTHINK (IRE)
  3. ALETOILE
