      Verdict

      ROTHERHITHE came good dropped into a seller at Leicester and this isn’t much better. The form of that win has been franked and Richard Fahey’s charge is fancied to get the better of recent course and distance winner Port Of Call, who was earlier well behind Gainsay at Lingfield and is only 4lb better off. Busby will probably enjoy the return to Turf but N Over J’s only decent run to date came on Polytrack.
