Race preview
ROCK ON FRUITY returned to form in a big way when successful here over fences in March and a performance anything close to that level, on his return from 187 days off the track, would probably suffice. Ben Haslam's charge surprised a few people there after being pulled up three times previously at Newcastle, though he runs off the same mark now moving back over timber and could be well treated. Chocolat Noir has won two in a row at Cartmel and Perth, while Handy Hollow could prove best of the remainder.
