Verdict

THIRD ROCK was slowly away on his reappearance at Nottingham and then hampered when trying to close on the leaders. He's better than that form suggests and, upped in trip here and fitted with a visor, could open his account. Ejayteekay won four times last year and was second at Sandown on his latest start. But he does have to give weight to his seven rivals, though Charlie Bennett claims 7lb. Hermarna won a soft-ground maiden here in October on just his second start so warrants respect while City By The Bay may have found his level. Thahab Ifraj has been gelded since last season and could possibly have more scope than the majority of these but Panko would need more to figure.
