Dark Wave is up in class off a 10lb higher mark as he bids for a four-timer. This could prove beyond him while Rotherwick failed to cope with a 4lb rise for winning at Yarmouth when well beaten at Wolverhampton. Shadow Rock fought back well to win a maiden at Goodwood when narrowly beating SECATEUR. But the latter showed signs of inexperience on that occasion and can take his revenge if keeping a straight path. Mywayalways won a lesser contest at Nottingham last time and is raised a harsh-looking 8lb and the less exposed Yorkidding may improve past him.
