Verdict

Paul Nicholls will be hoping that either Rothman or Earthmoves can triumph in the race that carries their trainer's name but the latter is going to struggle to reverse recent course and distance running with BLUE BUTTONS on only 5lb better terms. Harry Fry's mare is useful in this grade and Gary Derwin takes off 7lb again. Shammick Boy isn't as well handicapped as when bolting up at Exeter last month while Dubawi Island has yet to recapture last season's useful form but Harristown has been knocking on the door, though is steadily climbing the weights as a result. Heronry and River Deep could feature if putting recent setbacks behind them, though the latter is closely matched with Sidbury Hill on the form book.
