RECTORY ROAD could complete a quick double for the Balding yard as the Paco Boy gelding was a very easy winner on debut at Kempton and Josh Bryan’s claim reduces his penalty. Coolagh Forest also carries 7lb extra for scoring at Wolverhampton and only won by a nose that day. Renegade Master should be thereabouts if building on his second at Kempton but course and distance third Harvey Dent has more scope and looks a bigger danger with the inside berth. Altar Boy improved stepped up to a mile last time and Target Zone appears the pick of the two Elsworth runners.
