In depth
Verdict
A couple stand out on recent form. Bestiarius found one too good over track and trip when Coral Blue finished fourth and Azof Des Mottes slipped-up turning for home and the former should figure again. But ROCKMANN posted his best effort so far when second at Carlisle on his handicap debut and the winner Fenland Tiger has gone on to land a hat-trick. Mark Walford’s charge gets the vote on that form. Timetotalk is handicapping for the first time while Kalaharry reverts to hurdling having slid down the weights.
