Verdict
Six of ROUGH ROCK's nine victories have been at this track including his last two over C&D. He's upped another 6lb after last week's win, but scored with a bit hand and can complete his hat-trick. He had plenty left in the tank despite the narrow winning margin when beating Batgirl here last month, with Amoya a further four lengths behind, and they'll do well to reverse running. Mottley Crewe has yet to win on turf and Sir Mozart makes his seasonal debut on a 7lb higher mark after winning over C&D in August.
