        Verdict

        A couple of these are looking to bounce back to form. Dark Ocean finished runner-up at Ayr before disappointing over C&D last time and Rocky Two also came unstuck over track and trip on his latest start when returning a losing favourite for the second time. Neither can be easily dismissed but a chance is taken on the newcomer HEIGHTS RIDGE. He's out of a prolific mare and can count the smart handicapper Mine among his eight winning relatives. Borodino and Jackaddock are other debutants to note for the future.
