Rock Anthem shaped as if coming back to his best last time out and makes plenty of appeal at 12/1 in the 4.45 at Goodwood.
Mike Murphy's gelding stayed on well under tender handling to finish a never nearer fifth of 11 to Yensi at Leicester, suggesting that he was ready to take advantage of his lenient handicap mark.
He is now 1lb lower than his last success at Sandown last September where he showed a good turn of foot to come from off the pace and readily beat Beaumont's Party by 3/4 of a length.
That form looks pretty strong in the context of this contest, and with Kieran O'Neill taking off another 3lb he must take all the beating in this if building on his latest effort.
Another plus is that he has winning form at the track, and under his ideal conditions he looks too big at the 12s on offer.
I had him priced up for this at no bigger than 8s, so at the double figure odds available he looks cracking each-way value.
Recommended bet: 2pts each-way Rock Anthem (12/1 Paddy power - BOG, Stan James)
