      Verdict

      ROCK BOTTOM was placed over a longer trip here before winning over today’s minimum distance at Wolverhampton. Richard Hughes’ charge is penalised for that success but beat Chillon Castle by over four lengths last time and should still have the measure of both Rock Party and Haggswood Boy on these terms. Rock Party gets a change of headgear having failed to figure over 6f here recently while Scale Force debuts on the Fibresand on the back of a modest effort in soft going at Doncaster.
