Verdict
Coronation Day has been upped 8lb for winning at Thirsk and War Department is now 10lb higher than his earlier win at Newcastle. It was soft ground when Prying Pandora won at Leicester back in July but Roll On Rory scored in this grade at Newmarket before upped in class on his latest start. DYLLAN went close back over 7f at Epsom last month when just failing to prevent Nouvelli Dancer from landing a double. Ruth Carr’s charge gets another chance in this though Case Key could also go well if staying the extra distance.
