In depth

Verdict

Danehill Kodiac separated a couple of Marco Botti-trained horses when second over track and trip last time. That should give the latter a good handle on the form and he runs ANTIOCO, who would have finished a bit closer at Haydock on his debut with a clear run. Rockley has struggled since going close on his debut at Lingfield but Stone Quercus looks a likely improver and Juste Pour Nous is a newcomer to note in the betting.
