Verdict

Akula is better off with the winner Edward Elgar after finishing second in a similar event at Fakenham last week. Nicki's Nipper was runner-up at Sedgefield on faster going last month but was pulled up on her latest start back at the same track and ROCKY TWO is preferred. The latter went close in a Class 4 handicap at Wetherby on his penultimate start and a repeat effort should see him in the firing-line in this company. Seven Summits and The Wexfordian also drop in class with preference for the former on recent form.
