In depth

Verdict

Timmy Vaughan has wasted little time in getting HOLOKO HEIGHTS back here after his recent win and we will take the hint, siding with him in preference to Whenever and Vacario. The ground was officially good to firm when the selection prevailed here by six lengths over a shorter trip last time, and he has to shoulder an extra 7lbs as a result. However, he stays 1m 7f on the level, so this extra half mile can see him to even better effect and he looks capable of defying the penalty. Other penalised runners are Whenever and Vacario, and the former ran on strongly to score over the minimum trip at Plumpton, suggesting that he too can be a major player once again given this extra distance. Vacario represents Charlie Mann, who won't be fazed by the gelding's three-and-a-half month lay-off, having already prepared him to win on his debut. Decent ground suits him, although he has struggled to cope with the extra weight after taking a Worcester novices' contest in May. Tuskar Rock stays at least this far, although he remains a maiden after 11 attempts, and it is likely that he will again have to play a supporting role. Robo is not one to write off just yet, but he will probably have to wait for other days, and Holoko Heights can hit them again today.
