UNCLE ROGER had the race at his mercy when jinking close home and unseating his rider at Bath last week. He'll be a short-price to make amends here and should do so. Key Addition showed some promise when fourth on his debut at Sandown and looks likely to improve, while there should be more to come from Emerald Smile. The newcomer Trending is a first foal but his dam is related to a couple of smart winners and he's worth noting.
