Day Of Roses never seems to run two races alike but has a decent strike-rate nonetheless. Silver Man has been showing glimpses of his old form and Atomic Rumble had been getting closer prior to an early exit at Southwell. Dan Skelton will be determined to get a race out of Delgany Demon but the fitting of cheekpieces smacks of desperation. The interesting one is PACKETTOTHERAFTERS, having a first run since April but two from two around here and receiving weight all round. Marble Moon is still 9lb higher than when winning at Ludlow in May.
