          Verdict

          PREROGATIVE finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the weights when third at Lingfield a fortnight ago and may prove good enough in this lowly grade. He’s taken to confirm running with fourth-placed Affluence and is also preferred to Ertidaad, who has yet to win over this far. Cold Fire is less exposed and steps up in trip after a better effort at Newcastle while Rocket Ronnie was placed over track and trip before struggling over a longer distance at Kempton. Don't Do It went close at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and Highwayman is back on a winning mark.
