Verdict
A couple of these are looking to extend winning runs but JAY KAY's four-timer includes three course wins and he is preferred to Rocco's Delight on that basis. Karl Burke's charge is upped 5lb for scoring over track and trip last time but Rocco's Delight will be no pushover having scored by three lengths at Carlisle in June. Royal Duchess landed a double here earlier this year and went close again at Newcastle last time. She makes more appeal than the likes of Kylach Me If U Can, Danot and Monel, all placed on the their latest starts and not without a chance.
