Verdict
Ignatius scored at Nottingham a fortnight ago but is upped in class off a higher mark for this. It would be no surprise if London Eye finds enough improvement to go close now handicapping after a modest reappearance at Windsor but it could pay to stick with LITTLE ROCK. The latter placed in a higher grade contest at Windsor last time when finishing in front of a subsequent winner and that looks strong enough form to land this. Slade King placed in maiden company over track and trip last season and Extreme Force was runner-up in soft going here in October, albeit over 7f.
