Born To Rock interested me at the prices here, going well in the Nell Gwyn for her seasonal reappearance and first run over further than the minimum trip. She'll need to step on for that, but it wasn't without promise given she didn't appear particularly comfortable hitting the dip at Newmarket, but stuck to the task well enough to my eye. The 1-2 have come out and run sound races in the 1000gns, albeit well beaten enough, but this race isn't of that level overall bar Remarquee who is the standout on ratings off 110. She'll have to run to her best though to give 12lbs to the 3yo's in my view, and it looks massively open bar that. Drying ground looks in her favour, as does an overall lack of pace. She's drawn in the stall (1) that has seen 3 of the last 4 winners break from it (albeit last year on the AW track, not the straight flat 7), and with just 4lbs to find with her fellow 3yo who is 5/2, I do not particularly see why she is sat at such a big price here.

A return to better ground could prove fruitful for Sonmarg from this mark. His two AW races have worked out well this season, seeing multiple horses come out and frank the form, for all it looks like he needs to improve for them on the face of his finishing positions. A look back to his 2yo turf efforts finds him beating a now 82 rated horse on good, before then following home two now 88 rated horses under a penalty on good, with the horse in 4th coming out and winning subsequently. Returning to a more conventional track (was 11th of 11 at Newmarket in last turf start) could prove fruitful, and a mark of 73 under rated him in the right conditions based on all this. A return to front running tactics could prove fruitful in a race with no pace, and up in class he comes here towards the bottom of the weights as well.
