After landing a Fontwell handicap in May, Sir Rock refused to race on a return visit on Friday. Good News is a prolific winner and has won first-time-back in the past but it's two years since Cawthorne Lad won a race and that was over fences. It's even longer since Barrowmount gained his only success to date over this track and trip while Maroochi has gone up 2lb for finishing third at Worcester. DYNAMIC KATE scored on the latter track in August and though not at her best there last month can bounce back.
