Verdict
DEMONS ROCK (NAP) is by far the most exposed member of the field but is also houses the most enticing credentials. A strong effort on his fifth start of the campaign saw him run the useful Billy Dylan to under two lengths at Chester last time, whilst other outings include a second to Roussel, who went on to finish runner-up in the Windsor Castle Stakes at the Royal meeting. He should land a deserved success here. Richard Hannon juveniles frequently improve for their initial outing so expect Bezos to step up on his Windsor debut when showing some early dash and Silvington produced an improved effort last to suggest he has each-way claims here. The market should help to sort out the newcomers, of which Music Society and Mouchee make most appeal on paper.
