KEEP ROLLING has yet to win over fences and can throw in the odd shocker, as he did at Exeter four weeks ago. But he was second to a subsequent winner here two runs ago and could recoup losses if in the mood. Raecius Felix is usually thereabouts but on a long losing run while it’s some time since The Composeur ran over a trip this short. A case can certainly be made for the lightly-raced Poldark Cross, however, while Getaway Luv has had just the one run over fences so far.
