Though he won over 3m between the flags, ROWDY ROCHER didn't appear to get home over that trip at Ayr two weeks ago. This stiff 2m4f may suit better and, eased in grade, Lucinda Russell's charge can get back to winning ways. Bennys Well showed nothing on his reappearance at Uttoxeter and may need another run but Billy Cuckoo may have benefited from his run over hurdles at Sedgefield and was third over track and trip in April. Little Glenshee could also play a part if fully wound-up.
