Verdict

B Associates is a bit exposed but is sure to be popular having been beaten less than a length over track and trip 10 days ago. Rockonmecca didn’t fare badly when fourth at Doncaster and is the pick of Michael Dods’ pair but Noble Captain has a bit to prove now. MR JETMAN looked far from straightforward when a beaten favourite at Catterick but may not have handled the give in the ground that day so gets another chance.
