In depth
Verdict
Rock And Roll King ran his best race so far at Ffos Las last month but THE MAD WELL could make a winning start for Kevin Bishop. He won four times in Ireland and has been dropped 2lb since finishing a close third at Exeter in March. Quiz Master has gone up 5lb since finishing a half-length second at Fontwell while course winner Cougar Kid will need to defy a 6lb rise in the weights and a step up in grade to complete his hat-trick. Monday Club looks the pick of the remainder.
