Verdict

An impressive winner of his final 2 starts in France, ROCK HURLEY is taken to complete the hat-trick on his first start for Donald McCain. He is unexposed and has been handed what may turn out to be a very fair opening mark. Foster'sisland didn't do much wrong at Ayr last time and he gets the nod ahead of Willaston for forecast purposes.
