Verdict
Rock N Rouge failed to land the odds when dropped in class at Kempton last time though her earlier third at York is the best piece of form on offer. It could pay to go with INVOKE here as Michael Bell's filly found only one too good at Sandown on her debut and improvement is expected. Bounty Girl should finish closer back in this grade but Fredricka is 5lb higher than when finishing runner-up in a handicap at Beverley in August.
