Roderick started out with Richard Fahey and won twice in four starts before heading for France where he won at Deauville in 2021. He looks booked for third as HARRY'S BAR and San Andreas look different class. The former counts this race in 2021 amongst his 13 all-weather victories, six of them here. He's rated 4lb higher than Joseph O'Brien's charge, who will be receiving 2lb with jockey claims taken into consideration. The latter has four track victories to his credit though never over a trip this short and he may just get outpaced by the selection.
