Verdict
Last time out winner ROCK ME has won over course and distance before and that fact just gives him the vote. Hailing from an on form yard the pick was winning going away at Newton Abbot last time so under just 6lb extra should be ready for a bold bid. Shropshirelass landed back to back races at the end of last season and having placed off this rating last time should be a leading player. Stumped is also on the list with winning course form to call on and Kijivu is consistent and should give his running. A competitive race that can go the way of Rock Me.
