6/4

Took a while to get off the mark over fences but it all clicked this spring with a pair of Sedgefield handicap wins in May. Not in anything like the same form when remote second here last time but first-time cheekpieces could spark him back to life.

Form: 22U-112

Floating Rock^p,t¹⁴

8/15

Taken well to fences, second here on first attempt before going one better at Southwell last month. Ran well in a stronger race at Perth latest. Should give another good account.

Form: 13/7-213

Forecasts

Floating Rock (8/15), Nero Rock (6/4)

If first-time cheekpieces help NERO ROCK bounce back to his best form then he might have a bit too much for Floating Rock, though a case can be made for both.
