RELIC ROCK, who won at Wetherby on his first start for Steve Gollings and probably came up against a decent bumper horse at Doncaster subsequently, is fancied to shrug off his penalty and get back to winning ways. Relentless Dreamer was second over course and distance in December and should make the frame again while there should be more to come from Some Plan, who was runner-up at Down Royal on his debut and has joined Tom George since. The market is likely to be the best guide to the chances of newcomers Paskalis and Tiger Feat and points winner Fletchers Flyer.
