    Verdict

    JOLLY ROGER has been cleverly placed to complete a hat-trick lately and there seems no reason to oppose Tony Carroll's five-year-old here as he can race off the same mark as when winning a conditionals' race very easily at Cartmel last Wednesday under regular pilot Lee Edwards. The unexposed Red Rock was made favourite at Fontwell last week after winning at Plumpton but pulled much too hard and eventually unseated his rider. He needs to settle better here but Illysantachristina is starting to come down the weights and could figure with Robert Williams taking off a further 7lb.
