Rampant Lion went close at Epsom last week and races of the same mark but, in a tricky finale, the vote goes to ROCK THE CRADLE. Ed Vaughan’s maiden has looked an improved performer this year and probably didn’t stay 1m2f at Yarmouth last time. Quarry Beach is a danger having only found one too good in both starts this season but she is starting to edge up the weights again. Juanito Chico and Casement have the past form to figure but City Tour has changed stables again since last seen.
