Preseli Rock has been switched from Rebecca Curtis to Oliver Sherwood but has been very frustrating to follow. He's A Charmer may be suffering from a dip in confidence having failed to complete in his last two while Beggar's Wishes needs to step up on his fourth at Warwick to figure. MIDNIGHT COWBOY has only finished out of the frame once over timber and would be the form pick on his neck second to Dark Flame at Ascot two runs ago. Zephyr is preferred to Pray For A Rainbow of the others.
