Rock Of Ages won over 1m6f here in December but has finished tailed off in both starts this year. Polytrack winner Lacey was well beaten on his only previous start at this venue while though Mister Bob has won a maiden race here he was nine lengths behind the winner when third over 1m3f last time. Kingaroo has won just the once since 2012 so, with the remainder arriving out of sorts, the way looks clear for KATIE GALE to make a winning reappearance. She scored over 2m at Kempton in September but had finished runner-up on the Fibresand earlier and debuts for a new trainer today.
