Verdict
It's difficult to get away from Rollin 'n Tumblin here and he looks capable of completing a four-timer. The selection has shot up the weights this year but he may still be one step ahead of the handicapper having improved again for the step up to this sort of trip. He was rated just 47 when winning his maiden in January but scored readily over this trip at Kempton last time from a mark of 65. Mister Completely was just over 4 lengths back in third so is weighted to finish closer but the selection seemingly had plenty up his sleeve and should prove capable of confirming the form. Salute has never shown his best here and Noddies Way is hard to recommend; it all points to Rollin 'n Tumblin.
