Inner Circle is making a habit of finishing second though was beaten only a neck when ahead of Angels Faces over track and trip last time. But ROCKESBURY looks likely to make a bold bid from the front having placed here last time as he can race off a winning mark today with an apprentice’s 5lb allowance taken into account. No Diggity can figure back over today’s trip while Hedging has only his second outing on the all-weather.
