ROC DE GUYE is up 9lb after winning well at Bangor last time. But he's dropping back down in class today and James Evans' charge is fancied confirm earlier running at Stratford with today's rival Nothingbutthetruth. The latter has since scored at Fontwell and makes more appeal than Sadler's Star, well beaten despite making the frame on his last couple of starts. The remainder are hard to fancy on their recent form and are overlooked.
