Longside has been very disappointing since winning a maiden handicap at Yarmouth in June. Roy Rocket is a course specialist who is starting to slip down the weights again but Safira Menina is still 6lb higher than when successful at Leicester in May, though will enjoy the fast ground. Whinging Willie finished ahead of Roy Rocket at Epsom last month but has become disappointing overall. DAISY BOY is back on a winning mark and faces his easiest task for some time. He's won over 1m5f on Polytrack so the step back up in trip is not a concern.
