Verdict

A maximum turnout with the first three finishers from 2018 again locking horns, namely Step Back (rated 10lb higher), Rock The Kasbah (5lb above his last winning mark) and Present Man (good ground will suit). Others with history in the race are Vyta Du Roc (second in 2017), Le Reve (third in 2015) and The Young Master (winner in 2016), with the latter of some interest on a sound surface. Unexposed youngsters include Talkischeap, Adrien Du Pont and Just A Sting. However, with just enough rain in the forecast, ROLLING DYLAN ticks plenty of the required boxes and won't be found wanting for stamina reserves.
