      Verdict

      There’s little in the way of winning form though Siberian Night’s victory at Kempton in December looks superior to the victory of Forus over 7f at Chelmsford. Bolly Bullet posted a better effort at Dundalk back in January and has switched yards since but the less exposed MORROOJ is expected to improve now handicapping for the first time and gets the vote with Roger Varian’s yard among the winners in the last few days. Zim Baby should be sharper for last week’s outing on this track while Rocket Dancer drops in class on his first start for a new yard having been gelded since last in action.
