Kimberella came here for a nursery with a favourite's chance a couple of weeks ago after his victory at Doncaster but didn't quite get home over the extra furlong on heavy ground. This will be more to his liking but he's up against some very interesting debut winners and it's ROCKY GROUND who gets the vote after a very impressive victory over subsequent winner A Certain Romance at Yarmouth. I'm Back made a nice start at Windsor and will improve and though Odooj looked even more impressive at Chester the form hasn't worked out. Miss Diva is having her first start beyond the minimum trip and may find the selection too strong but Ollie Olga made a very good impression at Newbury and with her yard in good form she could be the one to bustle up the selection.
