Aomen Rock has yet to win but has gone closest on the Polytrack and sports a first-time visor on his return to this surface. GALATIAN is looking to end a long losing run but went close over track and trip in November. He can race off a 10lb lower mark here with Pat Millman's claim taken into account and gets the nod. Neither Dimitar nor Spirit Of Gondree has threatened since winning on the all-weather early in the year and dual Wolverhampton winner Pipers Piping has been rested after finishing tailed off at the same track in March.
