21.10 Wolverhampton: Seaside Rock @ 9/1 Ladbrokes - 2pts win
Seaside Rock is back after break but I have little doubt that he'll be ready to run for his new trainer as Dalgleish is in excellent form lately and if he comes down to Wolverhampton his horses often run really well. He got this three year old gelding from the Hannon yard where it soon emerged that Seaside Rock won't be a Group horse. But he is still lightly raced and it wouldn't surprise if he would have a good bit of improvement left in him. He won well a Handicap over 1m at Kempton last winter on his Handicap debut and showed in his three subsequent starts that there is still more to come, as he finished 2nd at Lingfield over probably too short 7f when he was beaten for speed in the closing stages while is most recent performance at Newbury in June is the actual eye-catching one, as that day he had absolutely everything against himself: A poor start, he got hampered and unbalanced soon after and didn't travell at all for the rest of the race, yet looked in with a good chance 2f out but then was simply stuck in traffic and didn't find gaps. He got a pretty light ride as well in the end, but stayed on well in the final furlong only hands and heels ridden. He wasn't seen after that, now with Dalgleish though, and also slightly stepping up in trip, which probably should suit considering the way he finished off his races, as well as back on the All-Weather and older and stronger, I would like to think his mark is potentially lenient.
