Rock On Bollinski is upped a further 5lb having caught Bulas Belle close home over 1m6f at Redcar last time. That pair are closely matched and Grams And Ounces remains in fine form after going close on fast ground at Bath last week off today's mark. But the lightly-raced SINAKAR opened his account over 1m5f at Ayr recently and, with this longer trip likely to suit, David O'Meara's charge gets the nod to go in again. Heska and Rayadour are others with a shout off their current marks.
