ROCK CHANT has dipped below his last winning mark and shaped well over an inadequate trip after 4 months off at Wolverhampton 6 weeks ago, suggesting he's ready to strike. Barrel Aged was a good second on his handicap bow over C&D last month and should have more to offer over this longer trip, so is next best ahead of the rather frustrating De Vega's Warrior.
