In depth
Verdict
Roll The Dice has become unreliable and finished nine lengths adrift of Musical Wedge over 3m4f at Stratford two runs ago. Tribal Dance has only been raised 2lb for scoring at Plumpton so a hat-trick isn't out of the question. But he was being challenged by Ready Token when the latter unseated his rider at the last at Warwick in March and is now 6lb worse off. Trafficker has run well at Market Rasen in his last two starts but Harris and MISSION COMPLETE, first and second over course and distance last month, could fight out the finish again. Jonjo O'Neill's charge is fancied to come out best today being 5lb better off for under two lengths and he would have got closer had Jack Savage not lost his whip.
