Verdict

Mr Orange has an excellent record around here and just beat Sheepscar Lad over the track and trip in July. They meet on the same terms and the winner can confirm the form as he won’t mind the conditions. He can also reverse form with Aleef, who beat him at Hamilton in the summer but has the worse of the weights. ROLLADICE was making his handicap debut over the minimum at Nottingham where he came with a powerful late run to win going away. He’ll be even better over this trip and normal progress can see him defy a 7lb rise. King Robert ran a bit better at Chester on soft ground but would do better with some more rain but Kyllachy Dragon is finally dropping to a mark he should be competitive from.
