In depth
Verdict
Watermouse can land this seller with Rotheram and Will She Spin worth noting in the betting market. The selection finished an eye catching second behind Tunes Of Glory at Bangor last time out. He was not beaten far that day and could have been closer but for a bad mistake three out. This step up in trip will suit too. Rotheram comes from a yard doing well at present. His form has in the past been against better horses and this is a bad race so he should be noted for any market moves. Will She Spin has one good run to her name at Towcester when third on her penultimate start. She steps up in trip here which will again be to her benefit but she does have to improve a bit to win. But for the winner we return to Watermouse.
