GROCER JACK has made an excellent start to life with William Haggas and is fancied to resume winning ways after his good Haydock second in the Rose of Lancaster Stakes. Majestic Dawn is feared most on the back of his narrow Deauville defeat, with Achelois appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
