Verdict

ROY ROCKET loves this seaside course and despite the penalty he looks more than set for his 8th win here with his task here looking a little easier and his regular partner John Egan back on board. Topmeup appeals as the main danger now that she’s stepped back up to a more suitable trip with Carvelas in a first-time visor looking as though he could make the frame after his Bath effort. Vanderbuilt is the only other one of interest if he can improve a little stepping up in trip although his overall record isn’t that appealing.
