Rosenbaum beat Mountain Rescue easily enough at Wolverhampton in June but was been below par last time and is 7lb higher today. The other Godolphin runner, Super Kid, has crept back up the weights without winning while Revision is now 10lb higher than when scoring at Goodwood last month. Marmion is struggling and both Countermand and Freedom Rock were well beaten on their respective handicap debuts. It remains to be seen how LADURELLI fares now handicapping for the first time but he won a maiden at Chelsmford in good style on his first start since April and this longer trip should suit.
