Verdict
Emerald Rocket wasn’t beaten far over 7f at Leicester despite finishing only fifth but has yet to race over this far while Rocky Shores drops back in distance after finishing second at Brighton. Birdette was also placed over 1m4f when runner-up at Musselburgh while the retuning Sky Rocket is preferred to stablemate Dance Me. Global Art could figure now handicapping but BRAEMAR (NAP) went close at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut and Sir Michael Stoute’s colt may be the one to side with in this.
