ROCK OF STAR produced a career best when scoring in good style over C&D last month and can defy a 9 lb rise with that form working out well. Low-mileage veteran Skinflint looked better than ever when winning here on his last 2 starts so should make another bold bid, with Wild Romance best of the others.
