Verdict
Leroy Leroy has only found one too good in his last three starts, including over this trip last time at Chelmsford. He’s making his handicap debut and looks the pick of the two Hannon runners. Indian Viceroy arrives on a hat-trick but he’s faced straightforward tasks in novice company since beaten off a 6lb lower mark at Goodwood. Rajinsky is an improving type who won’t mind the return to a mile but THE TRADER can be forgiven his run at Newbury last time as that was in Listed company. Successful earlier at Beverley and Chester, he may just have too much class for these. Hieronymus is consistent but probably held on the form book.
