Jersey Rocs²⁰

10/11

Promising individual. 6/1, second of 9 in novice event at this C&D (good to soft) on debut 20 days ago, slowly away. Should have more to offer with that under his belt and he's bred to be useful.

Big price and too green to show much when eighth of 12 in novice event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago.

7/1

Promise on his first 2 starts but unable to continue the good work since, third of 5 switched to a nursery a month ago. Can still be a factor at this level.

7/2

8/1, third of 7 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good) on debut 20 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress with that experience under his belt.

Form: 3

Twice-raced colt. 20/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago, never nearer.
