City Ground has recent victories at Brighton and in Jersey to his name but this may be too competitive for the seven-year-old. Spiceupyourlife, who won over 7f here in May, must have a decent chance, however, and Dolphin Rock is starting to look very well handicapped and could figure, though does prefer a slightly longer trip. ROCKET RONNIE loves it here and can bounce back to form. He finished behind Ellaal at Thirsk last time but the easy surface that day wouldn't have suited. Strictly Glitz won at Thirsk and here last month but ran no sort of race at Musselburgh on her latest start. Blue Maisey had Kimabli behind when just beaten two weeks ago at Redcar and is only a couple of pounds higher today.
