It could be worth chancing WANDERING ROCKS, who is now 8 lb lower compared to when beaten less than 3 lengths on his reappearance at Kempton and this drop back in trip looks a good move having struggled at the business end in 1½m handicaps since. Last-time-out winners Eklil and At Liberty are live dangers, while Nonsuch Lad is another to consider. Also worthy of mention is Dotties Star, who hasn't shown much in maiden/novice company but is likely to be seen in a better light now handicapping.
