      Verdict

      Both Rebel Assault and Brandy Station made all to win at Catterick and Pontefract respectively. They should ensure a decent pace in this and ROCKET MAN DAN can take advantage. Below par in soft ground at York when behind fourth-placed It Dont Come Easy, he had gone close to catching subsequent Lily Agnes runner-up Black Orange at Ripon before that and gets the vote on that form. Marnie James was a well beaten second at Hamilton last time and Angel Force has even more to find.
