Forecasts

Valley of Rocks (6/4), Salt Whistle Bay (11/2), Roger Thorpe (6/1), Shearian (13/2), Windsorlot (9/1), Imperial Link (10/1), Rock On Dandy (16/1), Pyroclastic (16/1), Ripper Street (25/1), Stanlow (33/1)

Verdict

Poor fayre where Shearian should be able to get very competitive now that he drops in grade. Imperial Link is respected at this venue, though she would ideally want some cut in the ground, while Rock On Dandy represents top connections and a better effort would not surprise. Valley Of Rocks went well here last time and is feared, though the suggestion is to take a chance on ROGER THORPE, who has his first run for a yard whose last runner won. He was competitive several times on turf last year and looks to be on a decent mark.
  1. Roger Thorpe
  2. Valley of Rocks
  3. Shearian
