GULLAND ROCK won first-time out last season and is only 3lb higher. Well suited by fast ground and sharp tracks, he has everything in his favour again and shouldn't be far away. Pastureyes has a win here to her name and scored twice over 5f on good to firm last year. She'll be all the better for her fourth at Redcar and rates a danger. Storm Lightning, Perfect Pastime, Pharoh Jake and Whitecrest are others to have scored here in the past, though the latter may just need this. Emily Davison won at Chelmsford last month and is another to consider in an open-looking finale.
