If MOUNTAIN ROCK can translate his excellent bumper form to hurdles then he could take a bit of beating here. A little disappointing on the Flat last time out, that race wasn't really run to suit, and he can bounce back here. Probing looks a likely improver from a solid debut here and can grab a place, along with Silken Thomas, as long as he doesn't "bounce" from his first run back after an absence earlier this month. Floramar and Sea Bank are others to consider in what could be an informative little race.
