In depth
Verdict
Robbo's Rocket has already had plenty of racing and he lacks scope, but he does have form at this level, stays the trip and will be hard to keep out of the frame. There is not much between him and Bond Midnight, who was just over a length behind him at Yarmouth but, the latter had the worst of the draw that day and is open to more improvement and may well prove the best of that pair. Dropping into selling company may do the trick for Alexa, and she is taken to lose her maiden tag.
