Rockin Roy’s only defeat in his last four outings came over 6f here and he’s been raised a further 6lb for winning at Beverley last time. Paul Hanagan has partnered Gabrial The Wire the last twice but gets the leg-up on Deputise today and the latter scored over track and trip in July. But She Can Boogie was only a head behind and has subsequently won a novices’ race back at this venue. IZZER (NAP) wasn’t at his best over 6f on the all-weather on his first start since being gelded. But is of interest on his earlier double over the minimum trip in testing ground at both Doncaster and Bath and Mick Channon’s charge gets the vote with Franny Norton’s presence another positive.
