        awkward start, held up, well beaten over 1f out

        In depth

        Verdict

        The progressive SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD has won six times this year and bids for a course and distance hat-trick. He may not have finished winning yet and John Jenkins’ charge is taken to defy a penalty and confirm earlier running here with Expert Opinion. The favourite Copinet and Charming Kid finished behind Buy Me Back when the latter placed over today’s minimum trip at Lingfield while Storm Melody looks best of the rest.
