Justice Rock has been placed in half of his eight starts but does not really seem to be getting any closer and looks too close in the weights to MEN UNITED here. James Given's charge was second in a higher grade at Chelmsford in August and was not beaten far at Musselburgh next time and should be capable of conceding weight to this bunch. Mustn't Grumble seems best over 6f and Strictly Carter was second over that trip at Newmarket in the summer, though this is a significant drop in class for Alan Bailey's gelding after runs at Ayr and back at HQ.
