Verdict

River Rhapsody is likely to prove popular having got off the mark over fences at the first time of asking when scoring at Ludlow last month. He looks sure to be in the firing-line over this longer trip, but GORING ONE makes more appeal. The latter only just failed to land his hat-trick on his recent reappearance over 2m1f at Plumpton and, back over a more suitable distance and with a run under his belt, Anna Newton-Smith's charge is fancied to land this. Road Train Bob failed to complete on his first start for a new yard, while chasing debutant Aeronautica has shown nothing over hurdles to recommend her.
