In depth

Verdict

ROCK RELIEF was only beaten a length-and-a-half off a 3lb higher mark over course and distance in December. He's struggled in his last two starts but, back on familiar territory, can get his campaign back on track. Man of God escapes a penalty for last month's win in a conditionals' race at Market Rasen so is an obvious danger but See The Legend has shown nothing so far in two runs this season and Titian Boy let supporters down here last time after an improved second at Ayr.
