It's a bit of a worry that Rockabilly has fallen in two of his last four starts but he would probably go close here with a clear round. Course specialist Inverlochy Lad makes most appeal of Ian Duncan's two runners while Badger Foot has dropped to a decent mark but Overyou was beaten in a match at Uttoxeter last time and Night In Milan is probably high enough in the weights at present. Pauline Robson has her small string firing on all cylinders and HUMBIE returned from a break to score easily over hurdles here at the start of the month. He's even better over fences and should take all the beating today.
