      Verdict

      Roy Rocket is fast becoming a course specialist. All four of his wins have come here, three of them over this trip, and he'll make a bold bid to shrug off a penalty for last week's easy victory. Ifan has found a bit of form and also likes it here, though his best efforts so far have come over 1m2f. True to form, Sir Mark Prescott's stable has begun to find its stride in the last couple of weeks and PALISADE (NAP) looked a shade unlucky at Carlisle two week ago as he was on his heels as the stalls opened and never quite able to recover the lost ground despite finishing second. He's been put up a pound for that but can open his account today. Cliff Edge may do better now handicapping and looks the pick of the remainder.
