      Verdict

      Rory And Me landed both career wins at this track in bumpers in 2019. He's run some fair races since without getting on the scoresheet, although his last two runs were lacklustre. Returning to the scene of previous victories for the first time may have a positive effect and he should be involved in a modest contest. Adrian Keatley runs two, with Sean Bowen booked for Dash Of Spice, who makes a first appearance of the year. A Flat winner, he's a clear chance if taking to this new discipline. FIRE SQUADRON suggested he's better than his form figures might suggest when with Gordon Elliott and may put that experience to good use on a first run for David Dennis.
