Verdict

Rochdale could be worth taking on here and we will do so with King Orchisios who is narrowly preferred to Gilt Linked. Rochdale is likely to go off favourite for this contest but he does not look at his best on really fast ground and as he is faced with those conditions today he might be one to swerve. The alternative is King Orchisios who ran well in a hot handicap at York last Saturday and this imposing colt looks like there might be more to come from him. Gilt Linked is one to note in the market as she showed some fair form last season and if she has trained-on she would have to enter calculations. Devine Dancer was really disappointing behind several of these at Windsor last time but he is better than that and should not be written off. A good race this which can go to King Orchisios.
