Verdict

BASS ROCK landed this prize 12 months ago and can make it back-to-back victories in the race. The 6-y-o has been tried at 3m since winning at Carlisle on his return, travelling well when third in a Grade 3 handicap at Haydock in November, so the drop back in trip can see him return to winning ways after a break. Hunters Call is respected now back in a handicap, while Enemy Coast Ahead ran below par in this race last year but could still have more to offer.
