ROCKET ROB has slid down the handicap and is gradually getting closer. He finished ahead of Burnt Cream when third over track and trip last week and has the beating of Frozen Princess on collateral form. Rat Catcher is upped 4lb for winning at Wolverhampton recently but Go Charlie failed to cope with a 5lb rise last time having scored at the same track earlier. Boxing Shadows continues to tumble down the weights but has yet to show any benefit.
