Verdict
ROTHMAN has a poor strike-rate but the form of his second at Kempton has been boosted and he’s probably on a fair mark over fences at present. Bramble Brook was only third off this mark here last time and has never raced over a trip this short over fences, though he still makes more appeal than a badly out-of-sorts Gores Island.
