Verdict

A wind operation had the desired effect on PHYSICS and he opened his account at Kempton earlier in the week. He’s penalised for that but there looks more to come and he can confirm running with Rockesbury. The latter had earlier landed a double here beating the likes of Vincenzo Coccotti, Rocketeer and Broughton Excels in the process while Indian Pursuit reverts to 6f having placed over the minimum trip at Musselburgh. Grandma finished closer at Newcastle last time still looking for her first win.
