Rock of Estonia has been a beaten favourite twice on Turf since scoring on Fibresand early last month but will appreciate any give in the ground. Envisaging made a satisfactory reappearance at Yarmouth but his record of 1-21 suggests he’s not one to trust implicitly. Athollblair Boy was third at Ayr last week but that was over 6f, which may be his optimum trip. WIND IN MY SAILS has been racing over a mile and won at Newbury on his reappearance. He was too keen at Windsor next time so the drop back to 7f could suit the top weight. Knowing Glance would also have claims on his best form.
