In depth

Verdict

JUSTICE ROCK won with plenty in hand over 6f at Chelmsford last week when dropped down into this grade. He’s penalised along with Mr Enthusiastic, who beat Lady Joanna Vassa to land an amateurs’ race at Catterick on Tuesday, but should go close again. Essaka was placed at this lowly level over track and trip recently with several of these behind. Joshlee finished closest to the latter on that occasion with Dalalah, Popsilca and Bubbly Bailey all further behind.
