Verdict

Several have been thereabouts recently including ROLLER. The latter was beaten only a length at Wolverhampton despite failing to get a clear run and it could be his turn again today. My Boy Lewis had the measure of Vive La Difference when third over track and trip and Island Storm placed at Kempton a fortnight ago. Channel Packet will be straighter for a recent outing having won here early in the year and Twin Appeal posted a better effort in a higher grade last time.
