      Verdict

      Rojina has disappointed the last twice now though is weighted to beat both Strictly Carter and Justice Rock on handicap ratings. But the latter arrives in the best form with a recent third at Lingfield and makes more appeal. One Big Surprise was well beaten on her debut but stablemate CULTURED KNIGHT finished runner-up at Kempton last week when sent off favourite. Richard Hughes' charge is taken to make amends in this and open his account with Birrafun a newcomer to note in the betting.
