Richard Ford has worked wonders with DOLPHIN ROCK, who has completed a hat-trick under Callum Rodriguez. He has won off much higher marks than this in the past and there's no reason why he can't go in again. World Record had Pendo a length behind when scoring at Brighton and there's little between them again with the runner-up 2lb better off. Bookmaker has never won beyond 6f and Virtual Reality has only won on the all-weather but Barista pops up every now and then when least expected and will enjoy the conditions.
