Verdict
Rectory Road has switched yards since winning at Yarmouth and today’s 10lb claimer has yet to ride a winner while Porterinthejungle is raised 5lb bidding for a hat-trick. Fox Leicester won over 1m2f on the Polytrack here and drops down in trip along with Moxy Mares but a chance is taken on SIR RODERIC. The latter faced a more difficult task at Newbury last time and went close in this grade at Chepstow before that.
