Verdict
Ron O beat Roudemental by only a head over track and trip with Dingle in close attendance and that trio are hard to separate. Dancinginthewoods has been thereabouts over 7f recently but Quick Change returns to action 6lb higher than when scoring at Haydock last summer. DEFERRED also makes his reappearance having found one too good in novice company back in September but has scope for further progress handicapping for the first time.
