ROLLER (NAP) remains unexposed after only six starts and Nathan Evans could afford to ease him down close home and still win by a couple of lengths at Redcar during the week - he’s taken to defy a 6lb penalty. House Of Commons was placed at Pontefract recently and can race off the same mark today while Character Onesie wasn’t beaten that far when fourth at Redcar last time. Thundering Blue and Zlatan made the frame on the all-weather on their respective latest starts while Acrux and Wannabe Friends are handicap debutants to note.
