FormscanBy Alan Magee - HOTROCKET caught the eye when staying on nicely on debut over seven at Leopardstown last autumn. The John Murphy-trained gelding put in his best work at the finish when fourth to Star Of India, who won the Dee Stakes at Chester last month, and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market on this belated reappearance with Colin Keane booked. Elmos Fire appears to be progressing with each run and may provide the chief threat. The form of his second to Silken Ladder will be put to the test earlier on this card. Lucky San Jore ran well on both outings last year but is now fitted with cheek pieces and upped in distance after a below par effort at Cork last month. Angelus Griseo is a half-brother to Ascot Gold Cup winner Trip To Paris.
