Blackcurrent bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having beaten both Joshua R and Elzaal with Swiss Connection, Impressor and Nellie French all finishing further behind last time while Rockley Point has come up short again since finishing runner-up in classified company at Wolverhampton.
