ROLLING MAUL clearly found 2m5f too short at Fakenham last time. He's beaten the potentially-useful Aqalim by 15 lengths on his chasing bow over 3m at Bangor and this even longer trip should suit. Off level weights, he makes more appeal than Jimmy The Jetplane, who is proving hard to win with. Hexham winner Tickenwolf has been placed over 3m but this may stretch his stamina. Court Dismissed won over 3m1f at Catterick in the spring, however, though is more exposed than his rivals and Western Jo may need to drop another couple of pounds.
