In depth

Verdict

REMEMBER ROCKY (NAP) enjoyed something of a resurgence last year when winning four times. He handles soft ground and went close over today's trip at Ayr last time. Light Of Asia was placed in a higher grade at Catterick last month but over 1m4f while there was plenty of cut in the ground when Solid Justice won an amateurs' race at Redcar in October and he is 3lb higher for this. Gala Casino Star can get involved off his current mark but his losing run stretches back to 2012 now.
