Verdict

Dual Kempton winner RAMBO WILL opened his account on turf when winning at Folkstone last month. He's gone up 5lb but that shouldn't prove too much of a burden in this company as today's rivals look eminently beatable. Mazovian won here last month but posted a poor effort on his latest start while it was a similar story for Showboating, who followed up a decent second at Newmarket with a dismal effort at Pontefract last time. Cadmium Loch was in good form up to June but drops back in trip here after a couple of below-par outings.
