Father Mckenzie is looking thoroughly exposed and you would expect a few of these to improve past Mick Channon's colt. RICH AND FAMOUS is one and gets the nod after a very encouraging debut second behind Rich Solution at Goodwood in a race in which Swag was eighth - the fourth has won since. Amherst Rock started favourite over 7f at Doncaster last month but was too green to do himself justice. Better is expected here while Tawaafoq will have learnt plenty from his sixth at Salisbury. Twiggy was only beaten half-a-length when third at Leicester but she has more on her plate here.
