How Ovigo performs in the opener will give a good handle on the recent form of Rock Concert and, assuming all is well, the Ian Mcinnes-trained six-year-old gets the vote this afternoon. Of the rest: Jair Ormsford has been hard to win with but rates a big danger after a back to form effort over course and distance last time. Whilst each-way claims can also be made for Sorbiesharry, who shaped up well at Southwell last week but has a little to find with the selection on previous form, and Love's Design, who has plummeted in the ratings over the last two years and is one to monitor if he slips down to qualify for banded races in the near future. However, they all have questions to answer on one subject or another and are best treated with caution today. Therefore Rock Concert appeals only as the one with the most correct answers to pass this minor test today.
