      Verdict

      GENETICS ran well again when runner-up over 1m2f at Epsom last week and had beaten the re-opposing Oasis Fantasy over course and distance earlier. Andrew Balding’s charge is fancied to confirm running despite the worse terms. Roy Rocket has been in fine form in lower grade handicaps here and bids for a hat-trick under a penalty for last week’s success. He’s upped in class but is still preferred to the struggling Arctic Sea and World War.
