      Verdict

      WANDERING ROCKS hails from a stable in form and the handicapper looks to be finally loosening his grip after a series of defeats. Enough Already won well on an artificial surface in May and will have a top jockey booked on this occasion. At Liberty was a game winner at Haydock and a 3lb rise for those labours may not be enough to stop him. Eklil has become a more realistic proposition since dropping back in trip and quick ground will offer every chance of following up a win on Lingfield’s Turf track.
