This can go to one of the trio of four-year-olds who all have scope for improvement. Grams And Ounces landed a double last August and caught the eye making late headway on his latest start at Haydock, while Shabak Hom is only 3lb higher than when scoring over C&D in July, but may need the run. ROCK THE STARS won twice over a mile last summer, but has gone close over today's longer trip since and will have come on for his comeback run at Newbury. John Hills' charge looks set to strike here and can get the better of older, more exposed sorts such as Pelham Crescent and Pertuis.
