In depth
Verdict
Rockesbury has been here four times and won twice though he's never won beyond 7f and has had numerous attempts. POPE GREGORY, beaten in a Leicester seller earlier this month, lost his maiden tag over the track and trip last week and though penalised can go in again. He had Irish Times behind that day and should again take care of Henry Spiller's charge while Farewell Kiss has never raced over the trip. Kodimoor has won five times on Turf but is 0-10 on the all-weather.
