Verdict

Backers of Roodolph have been left red-faced recently and we prefer the claims of MOVILLE ahead of Riverscape, Constant Cheers and Adorabella. The selection has a first try in handicap company today having finally got off the mark last time at the track. Whilst small-field form can be hard to weigh up, the race looks solid and with an unchanged mark of 80 and the longer trip in his favour, he looks worth backing. Adorabella got off the mark two runs back but her profile doesn¿t encourage strong support, Riverscape is still on a fair mark and the drop in trip may suit, whilst Penang Cinta is one to watch in the betting. Mustajed and Snowed Under both have bit of form that could see them competitive, whilst Constant Cheers has been given a break since disappointing last time at Kempton; David Probert is back on board. Hills Of Aran is a 130+ rated hurdler and has a run on the flat here; he may be ridiculously well-treated off 60 but having said that he may be lacking for fitness. A competitive handicap, however we will side with Moville.
