Verdict
TOSCAN GENIUS finally took advantage of a slide down the weights and won with plenty in hand over track and trip. Dame Sarra won on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton before going close again at the same track while Timewave scored at Southwell earlier in the year and is back on a winning mark. Indication Rocket has won over a mile here and may prove best of the rest.
