    Verdict

    A dual winner over course and distance at this time last year, Ruacana is back on a winning mark so much respected. Top Gamble isn’t getting any younger and is on a long losing run but is eased in grade and should give Charlie Bishop a good ride. LITTLE RORY MAC may have his measure, however, if he settle better than when favourite at Plumpton on his reappearance. Twenty Twenty has only won at Fontwell so far and has no form on going this testing.
