Race preview
It was a testament to his ability that LAUTREC was able to get off the mark when still not looking the finished article on his Newcastle debut. After then being turned over at short odds over 1m2f at Chelmsford earlier this month, he gets a tentative vote to return to winning ways now pitched into handicap company in first-time cheekpieces. Rocking Tree has notched up two victories from as many starts for the George Boughey stable and he warrants respect. Skukuza was last seen finishing second over C&D at the Guineas meeting here and he cannot be ignored.
