Demons Rock arrives in fine form seeking the five-timer after rattling through nursery handicaps with his customary swashbuckling make all tactics. He disposed of a competitive field of 16 others at York last month (including the fourth placed
John Kirkup) and it would be foolish to take him on lightly. However,
SHABAABY also appeared to be going places quickly when a decisive winner at the second time of asking (with cut) at Newmarket. He undoubtedly needs to find further improvement at this level, but he's unexposed and his Salisbury debut effort reads very well with the benefit of hindsight, so he gets the narrow vote.
