Some top yards are represented by their less illustrious inmates with Itsonlyrocknroll looking vulnerable over this trip if he is as keen as was the case last time. Creadan Grae may improve with conditions drying out, but nevertheless official ratings rank him 5lb below FIRST CLASS TICKET. The five-year-old ran a gallant race on his return when Captain Zebo was behind in third and when also looking ready for this trip.
