Love On The Rocks hasn't been seen since finishing last in a Group 2 almost a year ago. BATTLEMENT drops back to 6f for the first time but doesn't look short of pace. She also has a good attitude and can deny fellow hat-trick seeker Gravity Flow even though William Haggas' filly is running over her best trip. Cersei has been thereabouts off this mark in handicaps after winning her maiden at Redcar but Goodwood scorer Very Honest couldn't cope upped 4lb at Newbury and the four-year-old Immediate looks to have a lot on her plate.
Immediate 18-1 (9-12) Held up and behind, not clearest of runs over 1f out, some late headway, never on terms, 8th of 12, 4 1/4l behind Midnight Malibu (9-2) at Ascot 5f hcp fll (4) gf in Jul.

Gravity Flow (IRE) 7-4fav (9-4) Held up, in touch, on outside, headway travelling well in 2nd halfway, led over 1f out, ridden clear inside final furlong, readily, won at Doncaster 6f hcp (4) gf in Jul beating Roll On Rory (9-5) by 1 1/2l, 8 ran.
Very Honest (IRE) 9-2 (9-7) Hampered start, chased leaders, ridden over 1f out, 4th and one pace inside final furlong, 4th of 8, 4 1/2l behind Silver Rainbow (10-0) at Newbury 6f hcp fll (4) gs in Jun.
Love On The Rocks (IRE) 50-1 (8-12) Tracked leaders, every chance over 1f out, weakened entering final furlong, last of 9, 10 3/4l behind Gutaifan (9-1) at Doncaster 5f Grp 2 stks (1) gd in Sep.
