ROCKBURY LAD caught the eye when fourth over 7f here on Monday, shaping better than the bare result for a second start in succession, so provided this outing doesn't come too soon, he's fancied to open his account. Grappa Nonino is sure to be popular after his runner-up effort at the Curragh 5 weeks ago so he heads up the opposition with the cheekpieces back on, ahead of Flame of Eire and Lamprog.
