Verdict
Hairy Rocket was always in the firing-line on last week's debut here and drew right away from stablemate Miss Diva, who runs earlier. She's obviously useful and can only improve so will be difficult to beat. Just Past Andover is very speedy and ran a fine race behind All Fur Coat in the Lily Agnes at Chester after scoring on heavy ground at Yarmouth. She's another youngster with plenty of pace and a line through her conqueror suggests there is very little between her and GRAPHIC GUEST. Mick Channon's filly was just behind All Fur Coat on her debut at Newmarket before scoring at Ascot. She's entered in all the big sales races later in the year and looks good enough for this. Her stablemate Jontleman reappears quickly after a promising debut at Newmarket last week and is by no means out of it.
