Race preview
A taking winner over this distance on debut at Newbury in August, HOPEWELL ROCK looks more than capable of handling a 6lb penalty and soft ground should not be an issue for the son of New Bay. A promising fifth when keeping on well late over 7f at Kempton, Castle Gates is bred to improve for the extra furlong and he is a leading contender. Distant Memory and Fantasy World are interesting newcomers.
