BROROCCO has his fourth pilot in as many starts with Thomas Brown taking the ride on the Balding gelding. A fine winner of the City and Suburban under a splendid Jimmy Quinn ride, he's not received the rub of the green the last twice, being a hold-up merchant who requires the right gaps at the right time. Hopefully, Brown will make the most of this long home straight which should prove ideal to his running style. Another Eclipse coasted home in a poor Brighton maiden but is going the right way and is dangerous in receipt of weight all round. Stable companion Good Omen will find this easier than Royal Ascot and First Flight has claims after an excellent first run for Heather Main following a near two-year absence since leaving Godolphin.
