14:05 Newbury

I’m going to take a chance on IBIZA ROCKS (best price 9/2) leaving behind that reappearance run at Newmarket last month. He didn’t go unbacked that day but just raced too keenly in the hands of David Egan and inevitably weakened in the closing stages. He will be a lot fitter now and I also like the angle of him dropping down to 6f for the first time. He ran a big race off this mark at Ascot so I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t have a bit in hand if he relishes the switch to a shorter trip. Able Kane is the likely pacesetter in the race and he is drawn right next to the selection so I just expect Kieran Shoemark to track that horse through before hopefully producing him with a winning run late on. The danger looks to be Silver Samurai who is a good looking sort and he has been running well enough in defeat to be a player here. Puerto De Vega possibly best of the rest but this is a big enough ask off his current mark.
