Verdict
Rowanberry has been knocking at the door and gets a narrow vote over Orchestration, with Boanerges and He's A Rocket not out of it either. Rowanberry lines up on a retrieval mission here as she was considered very unlucky not to collect at Kempton just over a fortnight ago. Sent off as market leader, she was going better than anything approaching the final furlong but failed to secure a passage until it was too late, ending up as runner-up to Double M. A winner in a big-field maiden handicap at Yarmouth last year, she looks all set to run a big race again with a plumb draw in stall one to help. Trainer Michael Attwater has his small string ticking over nicely, and emphasised that fact by saddling the first two home in a Lingfield handicap on Tuesday. With that in mind, the consistent Orchestration should not be left out of calculations. Nor should Boanerges, successful in two of his last three outings and hampered at the start at Brighton last time, although he does have plenty of weight as a result. He's a Rocket is 3lb better with the latter on recent Wolverhampton running so is dangerous to dismiss as well. Jahia caused a bit of a surprise when making all in banded company at Wolverhampton last month but has more to do now, and all in all Rowanberry appears to be the percentage call.
