Verdict
DRAGSTONE ROCK is a headstrong type and made a bold bid from the front over 6f at Kempton before running out of steam in the closing stages. Today’s return to the minimum trip will suit and he should go close. Crosse Fire finished in front of Amazing Grazing when second over 6f at Southwell last month and won over track and trip last summer while B Fifty Two should be sharper for a recent outing at Ripon and is preferred to stablemate Perfect Words. Silvanus is back on a winning mark and also has a shout on the best of last year’s form.
