Rockweiller has more of a tussle on his hands today with BAOLI fancied to prevail. Luca Cumani's filly steps up in trip today but she looks like she'll stay and this quick track should help allay any stamina fears. Her mark of 61 is workable and she can draw on a good downhill run at Bath to win this afternoon. Rockweiller was given an aggressive ride by Cathy Gannon at Ffos Las which paid off and he is respected under a penalty, but he beat little of note that day (second favourite well below par) and this track will provide a different test. River Tease is unexposed but a mark of 57 for this handicap bow looks too high and a bigger threat may emerge from the Tobougg filly Astrovenus or Jasmeno, despite a poor Chepstow run earlier in the month.
