Verdict
ROCOCOA (NAP) was unfancied in the betting on her debut but ran well when beaten less than a length in third. Ed Walker's filly should go close again and is less exposed than the likes of The Commendatore, Phantom Flipper and Cee Jay, who are all closely matched on these terms and hard to separate. King Of Spin is going the right way and was placed at Wolverhampton last time while the newcomer Music Major is related to a winning sprinter.
