Verdict

ROHAAN seemingly comes alive over this C&D and the manner in which he sluiced through the pack in the Wokingham suggests he is well up to winning a race of this nature. Having not been seen to best effect last time, he gets the nod ahead of the tough Dragon Symbol, with the classy Art Power strongly considered on the back of his easy win at the Curragh 3 weeks ago.
