Verdict
An interesting novice. EARL OF ROCHESTER presumably had a setback after finishing third in last year's Wood Ditton but it was a really strong renewal of that newcomers race and he's taken to make light of his absence, probably at the expense of last month's Southwell runner-up Commanding Prince. Bragbor will need a useful effort to defy the penalty but he's another who looks capable of better.

VerdictPromising individual. 15/2, only narrowly behind smart pair First Conquest and Lead Artist when third of 11 in Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on debut last spring.

VerdictCost €400,000 as a 2-y-o. It took a while to get him to the track but he can make up for lost time judged on his C&D debut success in January, knuckling down well to edge out one with experience. Should improve.

VerdictTwice-raced maiden. Off 17 months after debut, showed promise when fourth of 12 in novice (18/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 27 days ago, not ideally placed. Should improve but might be more one for handicaps after this.
