RAKEMATIZ carries 6lb extra for winning at Wolverhampton but most of that is negated by Paddy Bradley’s allowance and he should go close again. Roof Garden had to overcome trouble in-running to win over track and trip though Formiga was less than a length behind in fourth and that pair are hard to separate. Comporta won at Yarmouth in June but could only manage third off today’s mark last time while Udogo’s earlier win at Kempton came over 1m4f.
