oddschecker Verdict
Charlie Appleby utlilises the services of Zac Lloyd for FORT ROCK and that may prove to be a shrewd move. Despite losing his unbeaten record when third on his handicap debut at the Guineas meeting, the addition of cheekpieces for the first time can bring about more improvement from the son of Wootton Bassett. Magnatura ran a promising race on his return to action at Newbury and is entitled to step forward. Others for the shortlist include Release The Storm, Exposure and Stem.
Prediction: 1st Fort Rock, 2nd Magnatura, 3rd Release The Storm
