Rocks Up Late (7/2), Zacony Rebel (9/2), Getaway Jewel (11/2), Nevendon (13/2), Atreides (8/1), Boom Boom (9/1), Alshadhian (12/1), Jaitroplaclasse (12/1), Gerard Mentor (16/1), Solid Fuel (16/1), McGrath From Clune (40/1)

ROCKS UP LATE made a fine start for the Ben Pauling yard earlier this term, completing a quick-fire hat-trick in good style over C&D in June. Clearly not himself when pulled up at Market Rasen 32 days ago, this low-mileage 5-y-o looks well worthy of another chance to get back on the up and earns the vote. Boom Boom has been resurgent in recent weeks landing back-to-back Stratford handicaps and he's next best. Alshadhian and Zacony Rebel are others worth a second look.
