This is a poor novice event but something has got to win it so we will side with It¿s A Roofer with The Rocking Dock, Xamborough and Mr. Twins all worth noting. The selection ran a personal best at Perth last time out when second behind Lethan Air. He is still unexposed and with improvement still likely to come he looks the one horse in the race to stay on the right side of. The Rocking Dock comes from a yard that had its best season winners wise last season and the horse has run well enough on most of his runs to date so far. Most recently when third of fourteen behind Biscoe Place at Hereford which reads well so he should be noted in the betting. Xamborough has traveled a long way but his form has dwindled lately so is one to treat with caution. Mr. Twins is a better bet who finished second at Market Rasen recently and can run well again. But for the winner we return to It¿s a Roofer.
