      Verdict

      LA ROCA DEL FUEGO has won three times over 6f here this year. The drop down to the minimum trip should not be a problem given he made all for his latest success and he can go in again. Toplight finished ahead of both Pretty Shiftwell and Jorvik Prince when runner-up over track and trip last time while Cable Guy also found one too good here on his latest start, though this is tougher.
