Verdict
ROCK FOLLIES was only beaten a head at Pontefract last week and can go one better. That is the strongest form on offer and gives her plenty in hand with Hurricane Alert, who is partnered by a 7lb claimer today after disappointing the last twice but rated 7lb lower. The remainder with racecourse experience have even more to find including Wolverhampton third Chapeau Bleu so the newcomer Wotnot, a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather, may prove a bigger threat.
