SALT ROCK justified the decision to fast-track him to chasing when making a winning handicap debut in a solid race of its type at Hereford (2m) 5 weeks ago and, appealing as the type to go on improving now his stamina is tested further, he makes obvious appeal again. Yealand, Kuzco in receipt of plenty of weight and One More Stroke head up the dangers, in that order.
