      Verdict

      A chunk of Rocker's penalty for winning over C&D last time is negated by Harry Bentley's claim and he may well confirm running with runner-up Billy Red. However, WOODEN KING continues to improve having won three of his last six starts and he gets the vote after going close off today's mark at Lingfield last week. Novabridge won twice over 5f last month and could figure after finishing fifth over a longer trip at Chepstow last time, while Volito should go well again.
