In depth

Verdict

ROCKFISH probably didn't beat much when finding massive improvement to win over the extended 1m2f track here last month and dropping back in trip isn't certain to suit. However, this doesn't look much tougher and he's still at the right end of the handicap. Ragtime Red, who was just over two lengths behind, has since produced a similar effort over this trip and with a 5lb pull is entitled to get closer. Innamorare had every chance in that latter event and looks held while Taylor Velvet has had 13 starts without winning but was staying on over 7f here last time. New Vocation showed nothing in three maidens but this is much more likely to be his trip and better is expected.
