Racing Post verdict
Third-partyRoc De Fer holds a clear edge on ratings over this Class 5 field at Musselburgh and, at 13 furlongs on good ground, the trip looks tailored to his strengths. Simple Star is the most obvious threat at three pounds behind, with Sure And Stedfast and Much also worth keeping onside in the market. That said, our selection's superiority across the board makes this a straightforward recommendation. **Roc De Fer** to win.
