Verdict

ROCK OF LEON has to concede weight all round but is a previous course winner who arrives off the back of a decent run in better company at Sedgefield. Wintour Leap has also won around here and had a spin on the all-weather last month. Searching won a maiden at Huntingdon around this time last year. He’s not reproduced that form since but was placed in a seller at Leicester in November and makes more appeal than Newton Abbot third Geni Johnson.
