Verdict
Dominium is up 4lb for his recent win over track and trip and Ashkari is running into form with a second here last time. Both should figure once again but ROCKET ROB (NAP) makes most appeal. The latter went close at Nottingham last week in a more competitive sprint than this and can race off the same mark back on the all-weather. Baby Strange had been threatening to score before a below par effort at Chester and Ambitious Boy could be thereabouts dropping down in class.
