ROCKET ROB, Fyelehk and Halaak catch the eye here with Rocket Rob, in terrific form just now, given the vote. Twice a winner this season, Fyelehk turned in a fine display on fast ground last time. The ground may be a lot slower here, and though he is respected, he may need a faster surface to be seen to best effect. Halaak followed Fyelehk home at a respectable distance recently, and he has a difficult task on identical terms. He is very consistent however, and may appreciate the extra cut in the ground. Hayley Turner takes the ride on Rocket Rob, who is 6lbs higher than when scoring in decisive fashion here last time. He is a versatile performer, having been successful over this longer trip two outings before. The manner of his win last time hinted at better to come, and Rocket Rob can live up to his name and out pace his rivals here.
