Verdict
Wowsham is a consistent sort and he spread a plate when third here three weeks ago. He looks a better bet than stable companion Ceejaythedeejay but this looks a good opportunity for FANTASTIC ROCK to recoup losses having found one too good in a couple of recent starts at Newcastle. Upandatit made a promising start over timber at Kelso but didn’t fare as well on a return visit. Tartan Cookie placed in a Carlisle bumper in March but the drying ground would be a concern.
