ROCKLEY POINT arrives in good form. He beat previous course winner Amelia R when scoring at Catterick in October and finished in front of both Arcavallo and Atyaaf when going close over track and trip last time. There looks no good reason why any of the above should reverse running but Raabeh may prove a danger to the selection having run well for fourth over course and distance earlier and returning to this venue for the first time since.
