In depth
Verdict
Rolfes Delight,Waynesworld and Blazing Batman are three against the field in a trappy handicap chase and the narrow vote is given to Rolfes Delight. The selection was a fair third behind Southerndown when last seen, he goes well fresh and under conditions that suit he looks the value bet in an open affair. Waynesworld rates the main danger on his latest second behind Tsars Twist but he has had plenty of chances without taking one. Blazing Batman won well last time but his best form is with more cut in the ground and with this in mind for the winner we return to Rolfes Delight.
