James McAuley has three entries including the top two rated. ROCKY DREAMS is a five-times track winner who has been running better than form figures suggest in handicaps so gets the nod. He just had the beating of Inflection Point in this last year and the latter, a three-times winner, has been in very good form though only had a nose to spare over Prince Of Abington earlier this month when Hypernova was just over a length behind in third.
