Rock Concert can make amends for a recent defeat, with Sky Dome, Scramble and Mutarafaa likely to be in the shake-up as well. Rock Concert has had the misfortune to find one too good on each of his last two outings at Wolverhampton, and indeed the five-year-old was just touched off at Nottingham earlier. This race is certainly no stronger, and the course and distance winner is taken to add to his tally here. Scramble, successful 12 months ago, gained his first victory since when scraping home at Newcastle recently. He too left the money in the bookies¿ satchels here last time but at this level is worth a second look. Sky Dome has topweight to overcome but showed his wellbeing by landing the aforementioned contest in which Scramble pulled too hard. He can make the frame despite his welter burden. Mutarafaa also took part in that class F affair here five days ago. Second then, he has about the same chance at the weights, but does have the assistance of Carol Williams, which is no bad thing. For the winner though, we return to Rock Concert.
