Previously frustrating under Rules, RISK AND ROLL came good in a Leicester novices’ event two weeks ago. The form was nothing special but this may be an even weaker contest with Llancillo Lord and Saffron Wells having questions to answer at present. Aqua Dude has ability but is hard to catch right and Red Devil Star’s recent form figures don’t inspire confidence.
