Verdict
ATLANTIC ROLLER comes out best at the weights and is re-united with winning partner James Bowen. The pair won at Fontwell in January and should have the measure of Alf 'n' Dor on these terms. The latter was placed at Uttoxeter on his penultimate start and makes more appeal than Stolberg, who reverts to chasing having won over timber at Lingfield earlier this year. Astigos has little chance on these terms barring accidents.
