ROCKET Rob's first run for trainer Marco Botti bore fruit with a narrow triumph in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton on January 14.
Andrea Atzeni came rattling home aboard the Danetime gelding, who got up late on to nail victory by a head.
The four-year-old was held up early on before making progress from 2f out.
He gradually wore down his field to lead inside the final furlong and just had enough up his sleeve to contain the late thrust of Excellent Show.
The winner was Botti's fifth of the year and maintains Green Ridge Stables' excellent form on the all-weather through December and January.
