Verdict

It could be worth chancing ILLY'S ROO, who was disappointing on his all-weather debut at Newcastle but he looked promising prior to that and will be a danger to all if able to get back on track now trying a new surface. Flash Rascal has raised his game switched to polytrack the last twice and he is next on the list ahead of nursery debutantes Mollstar and Zooella.
