James Tate's horses are flying and KYLLANG ROCK has bounced back to form after a very long break. He beat Alpha Delphini on heavy ground at Musselburgh in March last year but was having only his third subsequent start when scoring on good to soft at Nottingham last month. Tarboosh finished last in that latter event, his first start back after wind surgery, but has been much more like his old self in his last two starts and is also at home in testing conditions. Duke Of Firenze has plenty to find on official ratings but has belied his age with two excellent recent runs at Epsom and in a Doncaster Listed contest last time when not beaten far into third.
