COLLOONEY is impossible to oppose in this as he was closing down Brandon Castle at Plumpton after being hampered and the winner comfortably defied a penalty at that track on Sunday. On The Rox has disappointed so far over hurdles but Just Rocky should do better now he has some obstacles to negotiate having shown ability in bumpers. Pink Legend also has time on her side and could sneak into a place with her allowance.
