BELL ROCK continues to give a good account and can race from the same mark as when finishing third in the Cambridgeshire. He should be suited by a stiff test at this trip and makes plenty of appeal in a typically competitive renewal. Recent course winner Raaeq, who is potentially well-in under a penalty, and Irish raider Njord head the huge list of dangers.
