Upwardly mobile mare ROCKOLA looks capable of taking this 5 lb higher mark in her stride after beating Lahinch Wave and five others at Worcester last month. She could be seen in an even better light here in what promises to be a strongly-run race. Liverpool Knight wasn't beaten far when third in this race last year and he is second choice ahead of the lightly-raced Luckie Seven, while Getaway Drumlee and Gentleman Jacques are both capable of producing bold shows off their present marks.
