First Rock reportedly finished lame after failing to land the odds at Lingfield last week. He's a bumper winner on this surface and went close on the Flat over C&D last month so can not be written off here if back to his best. However, he may still find BAILEYS AGINCOURT too good. Mark Johnston's charge was placed over a mile here before running well over 1m2f at Lingfield last time and today's further step up in trip can see him get off the mark. Runaway Tiger and Thunderway have plenty to find judged on their form on Polytrack and make no appeal.
