Rock Of Redmond’s earlier second on the all-weather came over a mile while Malmesbury Abbey scored over 6f at Kempton back in January and returns from a lay-off. Wrath Of Hector also won over 6f when successful at Yarmouth last month and had earlier gone close over today’s trip at Chelmsford when just ahead of GIANT STEPS. But the latter re-opposes on much better terms on this occasion having struggled at Doncaster last time and may prove the one to side with back on the Tapeta.
