Verdict
Though raised 5lb for scoring over course and distance earlier this month, CARD GAME (NAP) is still nicely treated on her best form and Aiden Blakemore takes off 7lb - she can land the evening’s feature. Spectator possibly needs a bit further but Tim Vaughan’s raider will be hard to keep out of the frame. Mr Snoozy was beaten in a seller here last time but Red Ochre is capable of going close off bottom weight. Green Zone remains out of sorts, however, while Rockalzaro has something to prove in this grade.
