Verdict
Ardera Cross loves it here but is still 3lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago and is becoming increasingly hard to catch right. Rocco Storm has gone up another pound since failing in his hat-trick bid at Sedgefield in November but is still likely to attract market support. However, he is giving 9lb to COOLMOYNE, who meets Roxyfet and Bandit D'ainay on better terms than when just behind Micky Hammond’s pair at Hexham last season and is still relatively unexposed.
