In depth
Verdict
Sadlers Rock has the best racecourse form of those on show and unless there is a plunge on an unraced opponent should have no problem scoring here for his in-form trainer. They thought enough of him to send him to Aintree last season and although beaten a long way the form has worked out well. Both Wrags To Riches and Ranelagh Grey hail from stables going particularly well at the moment and both will have their supporters. Robert Alner does well at this track so note any market moves for his unraced Keepers Mead.
