Rocking Ends^v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Tom Clover| OR: 85| CD

85/40

Won 3 times in 2025, latest at Yarmouth off 5 lb higher. Merely ticking over this season but no surprise if he bounced back in a change of headgear as he bids to win this for a third successive year.

Grandlad^t⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: James Horton| OR: 82| D

11/2

Goes well fresh and bounced back to something like his best when making all at Nottingham on return in April, just holding on. Off since but that's unlikely to be a concern.

Rogue Bullet^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: James Owen| OR: 80| BF| D

2/1

Looked well ahead of his mark when making a winning start for this yard at Brighton last month. Excuses under a penalty since so well worth another chance.

Form: 106-514

Diomed Duke^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Ray Dawson| T: S C Williams| OR: 72| D

10/3

Bolted up at Lingfield on second start of last season but no so good first 2 outings this time around. Mark continues to ease at least.

Form: 5473-55

Tuscan Point^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carson| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 70| D

40/1

Winner of handicaps at Southwell/Lingfield over the spring. However, last 3 starts suggests he's gone off the boil.

Travel Agent¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 69| BF

20/1

Has improved for new yard this year, recording back-to-back wins on the all-weather in April. Mixed record since, failing to meet expectations at Kempton latest.

Ecclefechan⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Alice Bond⁽⁵⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 69

18/1

Just the one decent effort this year (when fourth at the Rowley Mile in May) and likely to find things happening too quickly back at this trip.

Forecasts

Rogue Bullet (2/1), Rocking Ends (85/40), Diomed Duke (10/3), Grandlad (11/2), Valley Ofthe Kings (6/1), Ecclefechan (18/1), Travel Agent (20/1), Tuscan Point (40/1)

ROCKING ENDS is potentially well handicapped as he bids to win this for the third successive year so it would be no surprise if he bounced back with a bang. Rogue Bullet made an impressive winning debut for this yard at Brighton so is the obvious threat having had excuses under a penalty soon after.
