On Se Calme made all in a mares’ maiden at Hereford and never looked like being caught. She’s improved with every run under Rules and similar tactics will probably be employed here under 10lb claimer Oscar Palmer but Alan King’s mare has a further half-mile to cover. SIR ROCK blotted his copybook returning from a break at Fontwell but was better behaved at Stratford under Ben Bromley, who is doing the steering again here. Celtic Fortune was beaten nine lengths by the selection at Fontwell in May but is 7lb better off.
