Ribblesdale Stakes entry BURKE'S ROCK scored with plenty in hand at Lingfield in February and gets the tentative vote in a wide-open contest. Strathnaver also won her maiden on the Polytrack in December but Roedean's winning run on the all-weather came to end at Wolverhampton last time. Tiger Cub and Fairyinthewind return to action on the back of handicap victories, however, while Afnoon and Operettist ended last year by winning the respective divisions of a Salisbury maiden with the Hannon inmate recording a faster time, though Richard Hughes prefers Cresta Star to the latter today.
