Point-to-point winner Distime ran well when third in a bumper at Musselburgh recently and it would be no surprise to see him take this but preference goes to RED ROCCO. He improved on his debut effort to finish fourth behind Knockalong at Doncaster last month and trainer George Moore has won this race twice in the last four years. Alan King sends Cool Steel, who will have come on for his recent introduction on the turf at Southwell, and he's preferred to stablemate and newcomer Medinas. Perfect Ending showed some promise on his debut at Catterick and is also worth noting.
