Verdict

ROCKWEILLER is a soft-ground specialist who showed himself in excellent heart when staying on strongly over slightly shorter at Ayr. He's only been raised 2lb and a follow-up looks on the cards. Funky Munky won this a year ago on very heavy going and with conditions again likely to be testing he has to be on the short-list. First Sargeant has never run over the trip and may find this too taxing but Voice From Above stays and isn't badly treated if she can show the same kind of form as when successful at Hamilton in the summer.
