Rated 75, Rockets Red Glare sets a moderate standard though is weighted to beat the more-exposed Parish Academy. Shielded wasn’t beaten that far when only sixth at Chelmsford on his debut and is preferred to Sir John Bowdler but a newcomer may prove good enough. Tribuna Uffizi is related to winners and could go well but BRIDESMAN (NAP) is a full brother to a winner on the all-weather and a half-brother to others and John Gosden’s Godolphin colt gets the vote to make a winning start.
