Verdict

MORO ROCK wasn't disgraced returning from a 10-month absence in a race that's worked out well at Market Rasen in June and, having slipped below his sole winning mark, he could be the answer. Dr Seb is worth another chance to build on a mildly encouraging stable debut now dropped further in grade and is narrowly preferred for forecast purposes to stablemate East Eagle, who is back up in the weights after running out a wide-margin winner of a thin race at Stratford.

1	Completed a Uttoxeter double in the summer of 2024 for Olly Murphy. Very lightly raced since and, although he went backwards from a mildly encouraging stable debut when pulled up at aforementioned track last time, it's interesting Brian Hughes now takes the ride down further in grade. 2nd Pick 1 Dr Seb (Fr) Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Mike Sowersby J: Brian Hughes T: Mike Sowersby	97	-	-	-	15%	6/1

2	Bounced back to something like his best as he convincingly resumed winning ways in a weak race at Stratford (3¼m, good to firm) 52 days ago, driven out. Will likely find life tougher from a 6 lb higher mark. 3rd Pick 2 East Eagle (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Maggs Trainer: Mike Sowersby J: Charlie Maggs T: Mike Sowersby	93	-	-	-	35%	15/8
