York Race 1 - Sky Bet Rockingham Stakes (Listed)
BATTLE FEVER (2) Attacked the line when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at Hamilton and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Winning hope. HICKORY LAD (6) Faded away to finish 5th last run at Ayr. Capable of bouncing back and up against a less challenging field. Won't be far away during the run. Won't be far away. DIVINE WHISPER (10) First up from a spell. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last start at Goodwood and challenged by less formidable competitors. Displays very good finishing speed. Key player. DUBAI CHAMPION (5) Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at Ayr and goes down in grade. Displays good tactical speed. Can win this.
