Verdict
Steve Gollings could have a potential star on his hands in RELIC ROCK (NAP). The six-year-old was never out of the first two in five runs last season in bumpers and was unlucky not to win a Grade 2 at Aintree in April when only beaten a head by Ballybolley - several of those behind have already won over timber this season. Novirak, Set The Trend and Silvery Moon are all useful performers on the Flat and this course usually suits similar types. The first-named may need a bit further but should be winning soon. Turkey Creek has scope but Glingerburn has been off the track for a while and is best watched.
