Verdict

Charango Star, Thats For Sure and Western Rock are the three against the field in the opener with the vote going to the last named. Hat-trick seeking Western Rock followed up his Uttoxeter win with a smooth success at Market Rasen. Now six pounds higher for that win he still looks well treated and with the horse in such fantastic form he can continue in his winning ways. Charango Star won around here first time out for his new connections when beating Getoutwhenyoucan which has since won. The handicapper has taken note and this will prove to be a better contest. Thats For Sure comes from a yard in form and is therefore worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Western Rock.
