Verdict
Ragged Robbin is raised in class off a higher mark as he bids for a hat-trick. Dalgig has slipped down the weights but usually manages to find at least one too good while The Firm is another frustrating type and he's tried over a longer trip today. Nolecce may do better back over his winning distance but ELPIDA (NAP) is improving with every run. She finished third at Kempton last time to the progressive Sleeper, who has since landed a hat-trick, and David Simcock's filly is taken to open her account.
