Verdict

The consistent ROCK THE STARS ran a blinder at Doncaster and that form has already received a boost when the third, Zahoo, went on to win a competitive handicap at Newmarket. Most of his form is on top of the ground but he appears to handle some cut well enough and has obvious claims of gaining a deserved success. There are, of course, dangers everywhere you look with High Five Society one of the more obvious following easy wins at Nottingham and Leicester when last seen in August. Dream In Waiting is feared following a good run at Newbury, Hail Tiberius has claims whilst it will be interesting to see what the market makes of Gordy Bee who has ability and returns from a lay-off for a new yard that is enjoying a fine time of things.
