Verdict

HIGHLAND ROCKER was well on top of a subsequent winner at Ripon last month and, with his previous form proving strong, he makes plenty of appeal. Bay Bridge, Tamborrada and King Frankel are a trio of others to take seriously in what promises to be an informative renewal of the London Gold Cup.
