Rock On Bollinski finished third in an amateurs’ race here last time and has the beating of Medina Sidonia on collateral form. Be My Sea has been in good form at Southwell recently and won over today’s trip in March but HUBERTAS is preferred. The latter was runner-up on his recent reappearance but his fourth in a tougher handicap over track and trip in October is more pertinent form. Braes Of Lochalsh remains 5lb higher than when landing a double at Ayr last summer and while Stanarley Pic is usually thereabouts he’s an infrequent winner.
