In depth
Verdict
Rocknrobin could make a quick reappearance after running over fences here on Friday. Whatdoesthefoxsay is only a pound higher than when second over track and trip last month. Darsi Dancer only won a seller at Hexham but Touch Of Steel could go well if fully wound-up for his first start since January and Heart O Annandale wasn't beaten far off this mark over fences at Hexham. OMID can be hard to predict but he stays well and is back on a winning mark. He was staying on over 2m6f here last month, when Johnny Go was behind, and the extra yardage is in his favour.
