It's all Rock and roll at Leicester

George Boughey's charge looked a promising individual last term, winning both of his juvenile outings, but he did not get his threeyear-old campaign started until August of this year.

However, he has shown he still retains a good slice of his ability in taking third on his initial start at Newbury before upgrading that effort when second to Devil's Advocate at Doncaster last month.

Beaten half a length on good to soft ground, he just got caught for a bit of pace over 10 furlongs so it makes sense to now try a mile and a half, with any rain not too concerning.
