Panko finished ahead of Ocean Ready when beaten only a length at Goodwood and can figure. Rock Steady has been thereabouts in both starts since winning at Windsor in July when Rotherwick finished back in fourth. But THEYDON GREY found only one too good over a similar trip to this at Yarmouth last month and he gets the nod dropping down a couple of grades today. Fashion Parade landed a double during the summer but has failed to beat a rival since.
