In depth

Verdict

Surrey Blaze has enjoyed a good season but is probably a few pounds too high now and Hollywood Road is another who could probably do with coming down in the weights. You're Hired is of interest as he's lightly-raced for one of his age and came back from an absence with a Sandown second last month. Fairlight won a weak Newmarket three-runner affair in a hack canter last time and could be anything on this handicap bow and the useful Morning Beauty will appreciate the drop in grade. FINAL ROCK has done nothing but improve this term and it's worth taking the risk that his first attempt at 1m4f will elicit further progress for his shrewd handler.
