DE GRANDHOMME (5) was a winner over 5f at Bunbury last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by 0.9 lengths. In form and will take beating again. RAPID ROCK (2) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at Ascot, finishing 11th and beaten 7 lengths starting at 6/1. Finds a nice race and can atone. HISTORY WON'T CARE (1) made a nice return last time out to finish second and beaten only a nose over this course and distance. Back-marker who keeps coming. Will be picking them up late. NEVER THE TWAIN (7) returns from a lay-off of 16 months and did win when resuming last time in work over 5f at Belmont Park. Fitter for a fourth in a recent trial over 5f at Belmont Park. Top-three claims.
