ROXETTE missed the whole of last year but made a winning start in handicaps when scoring at Cork earlier in the month and she looks worth sticking with. Wolverhampton winner Rocky Dreams has his second outing for new connections while Ice Cold In Alex and Golden Valour are not badly treated on last year’s placed form and both drop in class for this. Midnight Fire and Oh Purple Reign are others worth a second glance but 2019 winner Atlas was well beaten in a claimer behind Kendred Soul last time.
