Rock N Roll Global has been tried at a variety of trips and although this is only a modest contest, he isn’t one to rely on, so preference is for HIGH WELLS. He improved significantly on his handicap debut at Bath and assuming that there’s more to come, should be able to prevail at this lower level. Estrellada is making her handicap debut but will need to step up on her disappointing maiden form while Famous Dynasty has repeatedly failed to make an impact in this sort of race and Socrates has shown nothing in two handicap outings to date.
