Verdict

Sofia's Rock has plenty to prove having hung badly and raced keenly on his reappearance at Doncaster, though he has slipped to a decent mark. BRIEF TIMES is 2-2 over hurdles and can extend his winning sequence racing in his first handicap ahead of fellow handicap debutant Earth Company, who had the race run to suit when scoring at Taunton. The maiden Kalyptra has changed stables so Oakley looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Small Bad Bob.
