No recent winning form to consider but ROY ROCKET wasn’t beaten far when third over 1m2f here last month and can add to last year’s three course wins in this company. All of Estibdaad’s six wins so far have been on the all-weather but Caerleon Kate remains unexposed and finished closer at Bath last time. Dellbuoy has not won anywhere since 2013 but Flag Of Glory won one of these events over 1m2f here under today’s amateur last year and may leave his recent poor form behind.
