Verdict

Rocket Ronnie made a bold bid for a hat-trick when stepped up in trip at Beverley but is now 9lb higher than his earlier win at the same track. AGLAOPHONOS gets first-time blinkers after blowing what looked a good opportunity at Brighton and Roger Varian's charge gets a tentative vote here in the hope that the headgear sharpens him up. Mandy's Boy drops back down in class and could well make the frame while Jullundar has the past form to figure if he's in the mood, though he patently wasn't when tailed off at Haydock last time. Special Report's recent form is misleading as he was beaten 10 lengths when runner-up at Bath on his latest start.
