Verdict

Dew Reward has been placed over shorter trips on Polytrack and should figure if lasting home, but 1m4f winner Rose Aurora has something to prove back over today's distance. A poor handicap can go the way of MAC FEDERAL as he was beaten only a nose over C&D back in April last year and a recent spin over hurdles should have brought him on. Spiritonthemount won at Bath last season but is in desperate form at present, while Benozzo Gozzoli's only win in 23 starts came at Nottingham back in 2009.
