Racing Post verdict
Third-partySecret Rock heads into this two-mile Ballinrobe contest rated 5 lb below Long Gone, yet the selection's fitness edge and progressive profile give genuine grounds for optimism that the bare figures understate the case here. Long Gone, Fremantle Doctor and Brave Crogha all carry stronger ratings on paper and must be respected as the chief dangers in what looks a competitive heat. If Secret Rock is indeed sharper for recent racing and continuing to improve, the gap to the top of the field is bridgeable. **Secret Rock** is our selection, though low confidence reflects the rating deficit against several well-credentialled rivals.
