BORN TO ROCK cost plenty at the breeze-ups and clocked a good time when making a winning start in a Yarmouth maiden back in May, so there's no real urge to look beyond her, especially in a weak-looking renewal of this listed contest. Nazalan had clearly learnt plenty from his debut when making all over C&D last month and, with that form proving strong, he's feared most. Kylian opened his account in decisive fashion at Newcastle recently and warrants respect, also.
