Verdict
Get It On finished ahead of stablemate Sublime Talent here in November but there shouldn't be much between the pair on today's revised terms. O'Callaghan Strand still isn't firing on all cylinders and City Press was pulled up on his chasing bow while Last Shot is proving hard to win with. ROLL THE DICE impressed when beating the latter by seven lengths over C&D last month and, though raised 7lb since, could complete a quick double for Philip Hobbs and Tom O'Brien as Ceepeegee has been pulled up in two of his three starts this season.
