Rockley did well to beat older horses in a maiden here in March and the former Godolphin inmate could have been let in lightly. CONQUERANT was beaten a short-head on his return to action last year and is 9lb lower. He has a couple of unexposed types to see off but looks capable of doing so though Mister Parma may well turn out to be better than this class. Satish Seemar's charge started favourite for a 7f maiden on only his second racecourse start here in February and had no problems though it wasn't the best of races. Alraased hasn't won since leaving John Dunlop while Fa'iz has a strike-rate of 1-46.
