      Verdict

      ROCK N ROLLA was readily brushed aside by Global Jackpot at Perth last month but can only improve for that first experience of the winter game. He’s won three times on the Flat and may be able to take advantage of the 6lb he receives from more-exposed Stratford winner Noah And The Ark. Instant Attraction has proved effective up to 1m2f on the Flat but didn’t appear to get home over hurdles at Huntingdon in the spring. Astute Boy was second in a Worcester maiden in August but that form looks weak and he’s changed stables since.
