War On The Rocks is penalised for scrambling home on ground with some give here in March though Conor Shoemark's claim eases the load. Bare Necessities and Flick Knife both won their latest starts between the flags and Lincoln County is surely better than he showed at Market Rasen after a promising debut on heavy going at Wincanton. OH SO GIGOLO is the fourth foal to reach the course from a mare who has produced two winners and his pedigree suggests he should be useful in this sphere so looks the one to be on.
