Verdict
Gulland Rock is upped a grade off a higher mark after scoring at Wolverhampton. Louis Vee escaped a penalty for an earlier win at Chelmsford but failed to take advantage when only fourth back at the same track last time. Ocean Legend and Seek The Fair Land have both won plating races recently but SUMMERINTHECITY makes more appeal as he lost all chance when racing wide on the final bend here last time having won at Chelmsford before that. Bush Warrior was placed here last month but has just the one win in 19 starts and remains high enough in the weights.
