ROCKSTOWN GIRL 7/1
ROCKSTOWN GIRL at 7/1, Anthony McCann with James Smith taking off 5lb, is the one I keep coming back to. He handles the ground, with 2 wins from 10 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are BUTCH COOLIDGE at 14/1 (from a yard in form) and IMARAJAN at 15/2 (a course winner).
