Verdict

A return to winning ways is on the cards for ROARING HOME, who has acquitted herself well all three starts since undergoing a wind operation, most notably last time when going close at Warwick where she was the sole mare in the eight-runner line-up. She makes plenty of appeal back against her own sex. For Gina did the job well at Fontwell and she is next on the list ahead of Police Academy and Pipers Cross.
