A low turn out from the 18 entered at the five-day stage, which makes the task in front of newcomer Rockpiler an easier one in taking on Imperial Sound, who sets the standard on previous experience but has a little prove on his first try over six furlongs. The selection's stablemate Wolf Hammer showed signs of ability on his debut and has bags of scope for the future. Whereas Unlimited already looks exposed and has a fair bit to prove after a poor run on the all weather last time. Imperial Sound, who teams up with man of the moment Seb Sanders, will be hard to overhaul if he stays this extra furlong - which on pedigree should not be a problem for him. However, his last two starts leave him vulnerable to a less exposed type and, with the likelihood of a short price abounding, he may be worth taking on. This is where we turn to Rockpiler, who initially cost 300,000 euros and is related to a number of juvenile winners at this trip. The form of his yard has is also a plus beside his name and Rockpiler can be the latest individual to carry the colours of Andrea and Graham Wylie to victory.
