A moderate race to say the least and Roddy The Vet is a token selection against Victree and Monsieur Georges. Albert Ennis' veteran has shown poor form this season in chases but he does at least stay this trip and if the going is sticky, he can prosper off what is a low handicap mark. Victree has shaped well in defeat to Wild Ground and Dundridge Native. There does not appear to be anything of that ilk this afternoon although a heavy racing weight is a concern. Monsieur Georges has put up some of his better efforts on left handed tracks although whether it can be his day after 38 unsuccessful starts under rules is another matter. Kapelhoff has failed to build upon victory in a Fontwell seller. Amoreigh is tried in headgear for the first time. Roddy The Vet needs to improve upon this season's efforts but he has more positives than most in a race that lacks quality.
