LEAR'S ROCK looks to have a good opportunity here having been narrowly beaten in handicaps on Turf recently. He will find life easier at this level with Richard Hughes taking over the reins. Silver Rainbow will likely finish closer after a debut fifth at Kempton and is preferred to Emblaze, Codger's Gift and Amour De Nuit. Titan Goddess is a half-sister to course winner Olivers Mount and makes more appeal than Railto Magic of the newcomers.
