Verdict
Although runaway Ffos Las scorer ROCKWEILLER is entered at Brighton on Tuesday it could be that trainer David Evans is planning to rack up a sequence with this one and the chance is taken he is, as he looks really well treated under a penalty after his 15 length success. Diamond Twister also scored last time but he only just squeezed home so his penalty might stop him, however, he does hold Thundering Home on that run. Luca Cumani has been amongst the winners recently so the unexposed handicap debutante Isobar may feature but there's no escaping the fact that Rockweiller looks really well-weighted
