Verdict

RORY ROCKET did well to overcome the run of the race when opening his account at Kempton 6 weeks ago and he could be worth chancing from only 2 lb higher back on turf. The Thames Boatman, Spring Bloom and Sandscreendeliverd are a trio of fellow in-form sorts who also need factoring in.

  1. RORY ROCKET
  2. THE THAMES BOATMAN
  3. SPRING BLOOM
