In depth
Verdict
LONDON ROCK has improved with each run and led until approaching the final furlong last time at Salisbury. On that evidence, a drop back to 5f should suit and Richard Hannon’s colt can make a winning start in handicaps. The filly Vino Rosso has a similar profile and looks a danger while Glorious Charmer was third in a nursery over track and trip last month and has dropped a pound since. Sibirica ran well at Newmarket in July in between more modest efforts and might have more scope than Tomahawk Ridge and the others.
