Regular at this venue and a decent effort in finishing 4L third of six over C&D on good-to-firm ground last time. Likely to run well once more.

Forecasts

Roy Rocket (9/2), Daily Trader (9/2), Hallingham (9/2), Kath's Legacy (11/2), Bridge Of Sighs (7/1), Art Of Swing (7/1), Deleyll (9/1), Palawan (12/1), Solveig's Song (20/1), Robert The Painter (33/1)

ROY ROCKET ran well enough last time out to suggest he can take a race of this nature. The selection is a regular here and can get the better of his rivals here with Hallingham capable of finishing runner-up dropping in trip. Deleyll disappointed over further last time out and is taken to claim third with the drop in trip in his favour.
