Verdict
Rocky Elsom hasn't raced since finishing second for John Oxx at Limerick back in April last year and is worth noting on his first start for new connections. French import Forceful Appeal is another making his debut in this country and is also worth keeping an eye on, but both Ragda and Jumeirah Liberty will need to step up on their form to date to trouble CHANGE THE SUBJECT. The latter was just held by the progressive Tarooq in a Wolverhampton handicap last month and David Simcock's grey should be opening his account back in this company.
