In depth

Verdict

CROCODILE ROCK was unfancied on his debut at the Curragh last September but ran very well. There's obviously been something amiss as he hasn't been seen since but this is a moderate contest and the son of Galileo can make a successful reappearance. Tsundoku showed some potential earlier in the year while Give Battle was way out of his depth over 1m6f on heavy ground at Listowel, though both are thoroughly exposed. Jim Bolger's newcomer White Lotus is interesting on her belated racecourse debut and Kevin Manning rides her over the twice-raced So Focussed.
