    Verdict

    HIGHLAND ROCKER found the Derby entry Inigo Jones too good over 1m2f at Chelmsford on his reappearance but he looks to have an easier task in this and the extra distance will suit. Silver Gunn disappointed last time having placed at Newcastle on an earlier debut while Aletoile has yet to threaten and stablemate and newcomer Overthink is preferred as a half-brother to a couple of middle-distance winners.
