Rocket Rod
4-39, three of those wins here (7f-1m) in 2022; soundly beaten both starts since returning from a near two-year absence; makes no appeal despite this easing mark.

From the connections
“I think the secret to Rocket Rod is a straight track, he can't go round a bend at all. They've gone hard today and that's helped him - Geoff Harker, trainer.”
