        Verdict

        Course regular ROY ROCKET has done all his winning here and this looks easier than his latest task over track and trip. John Berry’s grey should make a bold bid with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back. Lunar Deity was only fourth over a mile here last time behind third-placed Duke Of North but scored over today’s trip before that while Light Of Air ran well in an amateurs’ race at Lingfield last month when looking to end a long losing run. War Of Succession is back on a winning mark but Attain is best on the all-weather.
