Rockfish didn't show much last season but he's returned in great form since having his gelding operation though he's gone up 9lb for his latest victory at Cork. A FEW BOB SHORT is a massive 17lb better off for 3l in that latter event so should turn the tables and looks the one to be on but Pak Army had every chance back in fifth and looks held. Innamorare is better on the all-weather and hasn't been placed in three starts on Turf but Smiling Eliza is on a fair mark for her return to Turf though she may just need this after a break
