Earl Of Rochester

10st 0lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

4yo who's been confined to just three races; breaking out of the stalls didn't help once last October and neither did finishing lame this March, but his other two runs (on good ground last April and AW 12 days ago) showed stacks of ability; while not crying out for 1m2f on latest performance, he's bred to stay; very much the form pick.

9st 11lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Close third on debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) last April then absent until fourth of five at Newcastle in March (1m, AW; favourite); this 4yo needs to leave last time behind but he's in top hands and will be a major player if tapping back into his debut promise.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: John & Thady Gosden

Came away with two subsequent Group 3 winners on Newmarket debut last spring; has been gelded since breaking out of the stalls on his next intended start last October and looks the one to beat.

Earl Of Rochester

9st 7lb

J: Benoit De La Sayette

T: John & Thady Gosden

One of three to pull away over 1m at Newmarket in the spring; it's obviously a concern that he's been off for six months since but this longer trip should suit (dam won a Lancashire Oaks) and he clearly sets the standard.
