Verdict

Joke Dancer won off a 10lb higher mark here last season but turned in a shocker last time at Musselburgh, though has had wind surgery since. Fast Buck is gradually slipping down the weights and Destined To Shine is 6lb lower than when second in this last year. THOMAS MACDONAGH probably needs a bit further but wasn’t beaten far over this trip last time at Haydock and similar effort here will see him in the firing-line. Hasankey has won his last two and the form of the latest has been franked but Eragone usually needs a run and Rockadenn looks vulnerable again.
