      Verdict

      Zenaad had Eastern Amour behind last time although he never posed a threat himself when finishing eighth at Lingfield. Neither did Hikma or Feeling Good on their respective racecourse debuts last year but both may have improved since, while Auntie Joy was placed on three occasions over shorter trips last year but hasn't raced since July. On that evidence, ROCKGOAT won't have to be anything special to score on his debut and, as Marco Botti's charge makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Handy Chat, he gets the nod.
