Wicked Wench would have decent claims if taking part but was engaged in a much stronger race at Sandown yesterday. RUSTY ROCKET is also dropped in class after scoring at Nottingham last time with Lupo D'Oro well behind and, despite a 4lb higher mark, Paul Green's colt may well follow up in this company. Sandown winner Indian Tinker has posted two poor efforts in a row now and needs to get his act together while Chooseday has shown his best form so far on a faster surface, including when landing his maiden over 6f at this track. Mitchum is another who has gone backwards since making a winning debut but Master Bond could make the frame on his return.
