In depth

Verdict

Rock Warbler has looked high enough in the weights since scoring over 7f here in November while Attain is better over 1m2f nowadays. The 6f winner Wahaab has plenty to prove over a mile but NEWMARKET WARRIOR (NAP) went close over course and distance last week. That was his first start since July and with improvement expected here, Iain Jardine’s charge can go one better. Silver Duke is not badly weighted if at his best on his return while Dancin Alpha, Cool Strutter and Orlando Rogue are usually thereabouts at this level.
