Verdict
Tectonic recorded his first win of the year when scoring at Carlisle last time while Polar Forest returned a shock 50/1 winner at Wolverhampton last week. Remember Rocky bids for a hat-trick having beaten Outbacker easily enough at Carlisle last time but may have more to fear from RAAMZ (NAP). He got the better of the latter by only a head over track and trip back in May but Kevin Morgan's charge re-opposes on much better terms in this and can turn the tables.
