Frank The Barber faded inside the final furlong at Bath when attempting to make all last time and found one too good. It could be a similar story here if the same tactics are employed with the Cecil newcomer ROCK FOLLIES preferred. The latter is related to four winners including the speedy El Dececy and can make a winning start. Lightscameraction is also related to winning sprinters and could figure ahead Jimmy's Girl, who has shown only modest form so far.
