Lil Rockerfeller, twice a winner on the Flat, made a promising start over timber behind the odds-on devilment at Wetherby and shouldn't be far away in this with that run under his belt. Golden Spear would have been placed in both starts had he not fallen at Wetherby on his debut but more is needed from Kelso fourth Larmor and Sirpetan. FREDERIC probably didn't beat much here last month and now has a penalty. However, he'll have learned plenty that day and clearly has a future so may be capable of putting these to the sword as well.
