In depth
Verdict
Rock On Rocky is quirky but got up in the shadows of the post on desperate ground at Uttoxeter eight days ago and is only 4lb higher. DR ROBIN has gone up 5lb for his victory over a longer trip at Sedgefield but the first two pulled well clear and the runner-up had won his previous start so the form looks decent. Keep Moving was never seen with a chance when third at Ludlow and needs to brush up his jumping but is still preferred to Allthegear No Idea, who really needs a much stiffer test of stamina.
