In depth

Verdict

A more patient ride can bring about the desired effect with Roschal, who is selected in preference to Saafend Rocket and Gatorade, who make the most appeal out of the rest. That said, Benrajah could be suited by this course and he is a prime candidate to tow them along. However, he has been raised 4lb since the last time we saw him in action and will have be somewhere near his best for things to go his way today. Saafend Rocket has gone well on all bar one of his previous visits to his local racecourse and should again give supporters of the Henry Daly yard something to shout about if he runs his usual race. However, he is hard to win with and a place in the frame could again be his beckoning today. Especially if Richard Johnson can initiate a repeat of his course and distance win from just before Christmas.
