Verdict
BALLADEER made a nice start behind the odds-on Indian Viceroy at Newmarket and that looks the strongest form on view. Rockshore showed the benefit of his opening run at Doncaster when staying on strongly over 6f here and should improve again. Miss Green Dream has run in a couple of decent maidens without showing much after missing the break but Just Later travelled well for a long way over a mile at Brighton before fading close home. Chance Of Glory is a half-brother to a winner over this trip and out of a winning miler and is one to keep an eye on along with Light Up Our Stars, a half-brother to four winners.
