Verdict

The Orange Rogue still had a chance when falling at Ayr but, like fellow course and distance winner Alto Des Mottes, has disappointed this season and is also entered here tomorrow in the same race as Ascot De Bruyere. Nortonthorpelegend hasn’t handled heavy going very well in the past but it won’t be a problem for WHISKEY CHASER and he’s been running well enough to have strong claims in a race like this.
