Rat Catcher arrives in winning form but rarely runs away from Wolverhampton these days and makes his debut on Polytrack on his 38th career start. Roy's Legacy is 3lb higher than when scoring at Kempton but this is his favourite track and he's attempting to score on the all-weather for the 10th time. He had Prominna a couple of lengths behind that day and though the latter finished strongly another furlong wouldn't go amiss. ROCKET ROB hasn't won for over two years but has been racing consistently recently and appears to have been given a chance at the weights so he gets the nod. Top Cop is another with a long losing run behind him but he's been running so well that the assessor has been unable to drop him to a winnable mark.
