A few of these arrive in good form but none more so than OUTLAW TORN. His latest four starts over C&D have yielded three wins, including last week's victory, and he gets the vote to go in again despite a penalty. Aragorn Rouge went close in an amateurs' race here last time while Rogue Reporter has been running well over shorter trips at Lingfield. Big Sylv finally got off the mark when scoring here three weeks ago but this is tougher and Geronimo Chief is expected to finish closer to the selection this time after a more recent second at Southwell.
