Verdict
This looks best left to Esher Common, even though he is stepping up in trip. He is from the same family as useful middle-distance performer Burooj, so this trip should be well within his compass. Ambersong, dropping in class, could well be capable of improvement at this trip, while the first time visored Rock Concert is capable of reaching the frame.
