Verdict
Rocking Ends has been in the mix since scoring at Southwell in December but this is tougher than the sprint Full Prime won here a fortnight ago. Prospering has returned a beaten favourite the last twice now while both Magical Merlin and EMINENCY won novice races over today’s trip last year. The latter could only manage third upped in distance at Goodwood on his handicap debut in October but gets another chance in this reunited with winning partner Adam Kirby.
