Course specialist Roxyfet bids for back-to-back victories in this racing off a 4lb higher mark. He was also placed in the two previous renewals so can’t be left out of calculations. FRANKIE BALLOU won the race in 2018, when ridden by Danny Cook, and has found some form again after a slow start to the campaign so gets the nod with Elixer still struggling to get his head in front. Flight To Milan may prove the pick of the remainder.
