Ernststavroblofeld looks capable of improving for noted connections and he should do better as a three-year-old but preference is for a potentially well-handicapped ROCK N ROLL GLOBAL who should enjoy this switch to turf. The booking of Silvestre De Sousa is eye-catching and his mount has shown hints of abilty in his trio of starts. Tricorn is likely to prove popular in the betting with his trainer in such good form and he should go well provided he's improved a little.
