Ability to handle soft ground will come into the equation by the time this lot leave the gates. RUSTY ROCKET's best form is over 5f and he races off the same mark as when just touched off at Haydock three runs ago. Seemingly well drawn, the top weight can get the better of Hamilton second Towbee, whose recent form is over 6f, and Gowanharry. The latter should go close under a talented 5lb claimer, however, while Threes Grand may prove the pick of the three-year-olds. Triple Dream, Wolverhampton winner R Woody and old-timer Cheveton are others to consider and Silvanus has each-way claims but Sharaarah appears in the handicapper's grip now and Mary's Daughter has been largely disappointing this year.
