Verdict
Sold for six-figure sums on three separate occasions, PLYMOUTH ROCK makes his long-awaited debut in this for powerful connections. He holds a Group 1 entry and is fancied to get his career off to a flying start. Carlisle third Good Night Mr Tom looks ready for a step up in trip but Al Aakif’s victory at Nottingham has sent out mixed messages and he might struggle under his penalty. Imperial Command was staying on over 5f at Windsor but his stable is not noted for it’s two-year-olds.
