MISTER ROCKANDROLL was sent to Brighton for a Class 4 handicap last week and duly obliged so coming to this lower grade contest with a penalty looks a winning option for Mark Johnston's charge. Card High has won three handicaps at a lower level but hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts at this grade including here last week. He's respected but Baileys Concerto, a useful chaser at his best, hasn't shown much in three starts on the level. Stanarley Pic completed a double last September but hasn't done much since which is why he's 7lb lower than his last victory.
