Verdict

The veteran Hard Rock City loves this track and landed this a year ago under Johnny Murtagh. However, he hasn't run since landing a handicap over the C&D in September and could just need the outing. Bay Knight will appreciate the recent rain though he may be better over 6f but Qadar ran well behind Inwood here earlier this month and must be respected. The three-year-old Big Bad Billy Bob is still a maiden but has a chance at the weights with his young rider claiming though the nod goes to SOLID AIR, whose last success was on the beach at Laytown in September but who has produced two fine efforts over a mile recently and will be better suited by this trip.
