Plenty of depth to this bumper but I AM ROCCO is from a successful family and represents a yard with few peers if any when it comes to readying a newcomer. He gets the vote with Sporting Ace and Rockinastorm just about the pick of those with Rules experience, while Master Chewy has a £300,000 price tag to uphold.
