Verdict
Rockesbury ran well in a seller here a week ago when separating higher rated horses than these and can figure again back in a handicap. But PEARL SPECTRE finished in front of Air Of York when going close at Kempton last week and gets the vote given he was winning off a much higher mark at this time last year. Come On Bear finished ahead of the selection when fourth at Lingfield in December and has a chance on that form while William Ashford will likely improve on his second start for Mick Appleby’s yard.
