Verdict
Fred returned a losing favourite on fast ground at Ayr on his debut before winning on a slower surface at Leicester last time for which he’s penalised. But YOU’RE MY ROCK showed promise when third at Newcastle on his introduction and Richard Fahey’s colt gets the vote with normal progress. Tom Dascombe’s yard has won two of the three previous renewals and runs three today with the newcomer He's A Keeper preferred while Mambo Nights, a half-brother to a Group 3 winner, makes more appeal than stablemate Always Fearless. Tell Me All is related to the Listed winner and former stable companion Red Box and is another newcomer to note.
