Verdict
POCKLEY has been going through a good spell, travelling well through the race when adding another C&D success to his tally 6 days ago, and a penalty might not prevent him from scoring again in his current form. There were better signs from So Grateful when only narrowly denied on his latest outing and he is feared most.
