SCARLET ROCKS comes out best at the weights with apprentice David Kenny's claim an extra bonus. George Baker's filly won at Windsor the last time she raced at this level and the same outcome is expected here. Both Lutine Charlie and Stevie Gee have solid claims but will need to step up on their recent efforts to figure, while Princess Dayna has failed to figure in three starts since landing a double in October. Force To Spend arrives on the back of a win at Kempton though she's up against it on today's terms.
