Alramz and Getaway Cory seem to lack an extra gear and are probably worth opposing again, though this has an open look about it. No No Tonic won over 2m here in March and hasn’t been beaten far in two runs this term but we’ll give another chance to ROCK THE HOUSE, who was probably given too much to do when joint favourite at Huntingdon nine days ago. Ranco is no forlorn hope and Killybegs Junior only weakened at the last back under Rules at Carlisle but Mac Be Lucky was only fourth off this mark at Ffos Las in June and the handicapper has taken no chances with Gata Ban.
