BLOOMING BRILLIANT

3.00 Newmarket - Class 4 (0-80) Handicap 6f ROCKING ENDS will be winning soon, but he does seem to find 6f stretching him

- 

He would be of more interest back at shorter, whereas SPRING BLOOM ran well over an inadequate 5f here last time and makes plenty of appeal.

He is returning to his preferred trip now, and he was closing all the way to the line after getting outpaced mid-race.

The eight-year-old was as good as ever when winning twice over C&D last summer and is drawn for a prominent role up the centre here.

This can give him an edge over another course specialist in Dashing Dick, who is closer to the nearside rail
