ROCKY REBEL can make it third time lucky. Ralph Beckett's colt has shaped with promise on two runs to date, the latest a three length third to Diamond Penny at Newmarket. The form doesn't look the strongest for the track but he should continue to improve with his racing. Safari Team ran well from the front at Kempton, and along with Avid Kale has the form to trouble any of his rivals. The latter's second to Layali Al Arab is arguably the best form on offer. Haylaman looks the most interesting of the newcomers, despite already being gelded, whilst at a price Major Domo could improve significantly on his Salisbury debut with that experience under his belt.
