Verdict
Course specialist Rough Rock hasn't been in the best of form this year but his yard has begun firing recently and he's dropped to a very fair mark. The seven-year-old could go close and is preferred to another C&D winner, Jonnie Skull, but fellow track and trip scorer MRS GREELEY could have his measure. She flew home once finding daylight at Newmarket last time and shouldn't have as many traffic problems in this. Forks also warrants respect after his latest fifth at HQ while maiden Afkar was second off a higher mark on the Polytrack last week and is another to consider.
