In depth
Verdict
Rosenborg Rider has an 8lb rise to contend with after a comfortable victory over 7f a couple of weeks ago. HES OUR MUSIC has a tremendous record around here and is remarkably well treated as he's gained most of his victories off much higher marks so can gain course victory number 10. Excelli finished runner-up on heavy going at Navan last time but he's on a long losing run as is Paved With Gold, though the latter has run very well from this sort of mark in his two latest starts. No Approval was brought with a late burst by Ben Coen to snatch the spoils earlier this month and a 4lb penalty shouldn't prevent another big effort but Tennesse Waltz is 14lb higher than his last victory on this track.
