Verdict
TIS ROCK'N'ROLL gave the impression 1m4f stretched his stamina when a well-beaten runner-up at Lingfield. However, he's won over 1m2f twice this year and David Lanigan's colt can go in again in this. Siouxperhero arrives on the back of a win at Epsom and has a shout but C&D winner Ishikawa has crept back up the weights after a series of placed efforts. Hikma is rated much higher back on the all-weather so Cyrus Sod looks a bigger threat.
