    Verdict

    An interesting heat in which Alpha Way seeks to make it four from five for the season. The gelding has already scored here twice this term and showed tremendous resilience when making all at Taunton last time. He must go well but is up 25lb for his three wins and also totes a 7lb penalty for that Taunton victory. SILVER ROQUE has already contributed to the 2012 Henrietta Knight renaissance and is taken to reel Alpha Way in late on and supplement a recent well-deserved Folkestone success. He's a model of consistency and open to further improvement. Get It On ran really well behind Michael Flips in a competitive handicap last time but faces a tough task at the weights and the drop in trip may not be in his favour. Scoter Fontaine has three letters next to his name and is best watched until improving his fencing technique.
