In depth
Verdict
Rodber, Argento and Polish Baron are three against the field in this novices chase and the vote goes to Rodber. The selection ran at Bangor yesterday and if he turns up here under a penalty he will be hard to beat. He was a good second behind Edmo Heights last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Argento rates the main danger on his best form but he has failed to complete the course in two of his last three runs and looks apposable for that reason. Polish Baron is from a yard in form and was a fair fourth behind The Extra Man last time but his over all profile suggests he needs to improve. Fieraway is another that could go well but he will need to improve in the jumping department to beat the selection Rodber.
