From the connections
“We're enjoying Rocks Up Late at the moment and that was nice to see. He jumps and travels strongly. At that level, he looks very impressive and we'll see how far he can go. He's quite a fractious mind. I think the way we use our gallop with horses cantering past each other has taught him to settle and that goes a long way in his improvement. As soon as we got him we went straight to chasing and that's undoubtedly his game. He's such a good jumper that he takes lengths out of [his rivals at] every fence - Ben Pauling, trainer.”
