PURPLE ROCK made his reappearance in the Esher Cup at Sandown and, after getting outpaced in the early stages, stayed on nicely up the home straight. This longer trip should be right up his street and he's one of the few in this with worthwhile form on Turf. The once-raced Soluble and Maxwell are relative unknown quantities, however, and make more appeal than the likes of Logorrheic and Shadow Rock. Steady Major only won a claimer on Polytrack last time but Mywayalways and Twice Certain could figure from the foot of the weights.
