Verdict
Rhoscolyn won over track and trip on his penultimate start but would prefer softer ground and STAR OF ORION (NAP) makes more appeal. Ralph Beckett’s charge won at Newmarket before running a big race in a valuable handicap at Ascot with both Ramazan and Ropey Guest behind. The latter pair have both won decent handicaps subsequently while Shining Blue is preferred to Saxon King over today’s trip.
