Tom George has a healthy 28% strike-rate at Newcastle and in a relatively low-key bumper could have a reasonable chance of landing a double with the rules newcomer ROCK ON ROCCO. As always, the market promises to be helpful in assessing the respective chances of these inexperienced horses with others to consider including Marown (Nicky Richards) and Show Promise (Phil Kirby).
