Andrew Balding’s juveniles are also worth a second look here and Pot Luck, who has had just the three runs, is no exception. Goodwood second Popping Corks is similarly unexposed while cheekpieces could bring about some improvement in Max Guevara, whose stable is in terrific form. Improvising, Sybil Grand, Raskolnikov and Capla Gilda are others to consider but DEVILS ROC may have got in lightly off a mark of 57 judged on a much-improved second at Newbury.
