In depth
Verdict
It was good ground when Roseneath ended a long losing run with a victory at Worcester back in July. He remains on a decent mark and handles today's going, but LOUGHALDER has the more recent form. Matt Shepard's charge was having his first start since April when third in testing ground at Chepstow last time and and is fancied to confirm running with fourth-placed Royal Chatelier in the process of landing this. Recent Wincanton third, Global Warming, has failed to complete the last couple of times he's encountered heavy going while Dermatologiste remains unreliable having been pulled-up either side of a win at Wetherby in March.
