Verdict

NOT YOUR CALL made all over 7f here in May but was headed in the closing stages over the same trip at Lingfield last time. He could go close again over today’s shorter distance. Compton Prince is penalised for Friday’s success at Wolverhampton and 2009 was the last time Rocket Rob won over 6f. But Wedgewood Estates scored over today’s trip at Wolverhampton in June and makes most appeal of the remainder.
