Formscan - ROCK OF ENGLAND arrives in fine fettle having won two of his last three starts, including over C&D last time, and the six-year-old is expected to have more to offer, despite a 6lb rise from the handicapper. Tees Aggregates had been running well prior to getting his head back in front at Catterick last time and is likely to enter the reckoning. Course specialist Mark's Choice is feared most of the remainder.
