First Rock won a bumper here in December but has failed to land the odds in two of his three starts on the Flat and preference goes to IRISH JUGGER. Well beaten on Polytrack either side of landing a double over 1m4f here, Rod Millman's charge has clearly taken to the Fibresand and with this longer trip sure to suit, he can make it three wins from three starts at this track. Kingaroo was a runner-up here twice last month before scoring at Kempton but still has claims despite a 5lb rise, while Short Supply is another to consider, though she's facing a tougher task than when winning over C&D in January.
