Noseda getting ready to Rock

PLYMOUTH Rock can gain handsome dividends for a descent in distance at Newmarket tomorrow.

Jeremy Noseda's four-yearold arguably found two miles too far at headquarters last time, but will be in his element in the J2O White Blend Handicap.

The son of Sadler's Wells travelled with great fluidity on his last start, but was enable to crank up the gears at the business end and came home an honourable third.

That display firstly highlighted his suitability for cut in the ground, which seems likely for this assignment, while at the same time serving notice of his propensity for a mile and six at this stage of his career.

Plymouth Rock's form earlier this season is also extremely good, even though he has yet to win in 2010.

A key cause for optimism must be derived from his penultimate start over this trip at Haydock, where he was denied a head by Lady Eclair.

With that rival having since won a Listed race at Chester, and with the third home, Wicked Daze finishing second in a hot York handicap last Friday, the form clearly looks exemplary. Raised just 1lb for his Newmarket foray, Plymouth Rock can seize the day against many unexposed Gucci heels and undistinguished rivals.

Lady Eclair's trainer Mark Johnston has another nice staying prospect in the shape of Rawnaq, who boasts wholesale handbags solid claims in the totepool Handicap at Thirsk.

The Azamour gelding has been set ultra-stiff tasks this term, competing against the likes of Dandino, Zuider Zee and Awsaal.

He relished the step up to two miles at Beverley last time, though, when finishing second behind smart stablemate Keenes Day.

Although comprehensively beaten that day, Rawnaq rallied gamely towards the finish, having attempted to make all of the running, and only went down by half a length.

With similarly sharp animals as Keenes Day not on show in North Yorkshire, Johnston's charge looks an appealing proposition.

Nepotism has invariably shaped promisingly at Bath and has a good opportunity in the Las Iguanas Handicap.

Malcolm Saunders' colt caught the eye over this flying five furlongs last month when showing plenty of early dash to take third behind the decent Lutine Bell.

The three-year-old son of Piccolo has, intriguingly, been dropped 3lb since that run and looks to be coming to hand nicely - as long as there is no more rain.

Watts Up Son has shown gradual improvement this term and could be well weighted off a mark of 68 in the 6Box Charity wholesale handbags Night Nursery at Newcastle.

Johnston can also land another winner on Ffos Las' mixed card courtesy of Jutland, who should go well in the toteswinger Flexi Betting Handicap.
