Forecasts

Sheer Rocks (13/8), Colour Image (11/4), Eton College (7/2), Lyndon B (4/1)

Verdict

SHEER ROCKS made a good start to life in handicaps when a close fifth at Sandown so this low-mileage colt is fancied to build on that now and bag a second C&D success. Eton College is a long time without a win but still feared most on the back of his good C&D third ahead of Lyndon B.
