        In depth

        Verdict

        This could be the race that connections of Rock Fever have been looking for and is taken to score with Almaty Express and Compton Classic worth noting. Second on his last two starts Rock Fever deserves a win next to his name. Although his last run was in selling company on the allweather at Wolverhamton this race looks no better and today could be his day. Almaty Express was drawn on the wrong side at Ayr last time out and is worth considering in this company with a better draw and Compton Classic was only beaten a length when fourth of sixteen on his last outing at Ayr and would not have to improve much to figure here. But for the winner we return to Rock Fever.
