Verdict
Roland Rocks finally won his first handicap when successful on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton and another bold bid is expected with an apprentice’s allowance negating most of a penalty. But TUNDRA has slipped down the weights this year and took advantage of the drop in class to score at Chelmsford with plenty in hand. There should be more to come from Tony Carson’s filly at this level and she may just edge affairs. A 5lb rise proved beyond Kempton winner Alba Del Sole back at the latter track while Mable Lee still looks to be treading water off her mark as does Letmestopyouthere.
