Verdict

ROCKING MAN shaped much better than being pulled up suggested in the River Don at Doncaster in January so, back in much calmer waters and dropped back in distance, he's a confident selection to come out on top at the expense of Thorneylands, who should improve on his opening effort over hurdles. Forever Louie and stable-switcher Earnest Belief can fight out third.
