Verdict

HARBOUR ROCK made a satisfactory handicap debut when runner-up last time and can gain his second career success tackling this trip for the first time today. The selection ran well here last October when runner-up in a maiden and he can take this from Berengaria who wasn't beaten far when finishing fifth last time out while Brighton regular Roy Rocket can claim third today.
