WAN LOST (6) finished 7 lengths away in fifth last start over 6f at Rosehill in a disappointing performance. Well placed and can bounce back. ROCKBARTON SPEAR (9) wasn't far away on debut last start over 4½f at Newcastle, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. HELLFIGHTER (7) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 7f at Scone. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Beaumont (Newcastle) trial. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. LONGCHAMP LAD (3) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 4½f at Newcastle when he did his best work late, beaten 2. 75 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
