Verdict
Slidecheck bids for hat-trick after wins at Wincanton and Bangor last time. But he is upped in class off a 7lb higher mark and ROCKNROBIN is preferred. The latter scored in this grade over track and trip earlier in the month and David Noonan's allowance negates a decent chunk of an 8lb rise. Carobello posted a better effort when runner-up at Ludlow last time and Goring Two put a couple of below par efforts behind him when placed here on his latest start. Ghost Of A Smile also made the frame at Stratford recently but was still beaten a distance so Bobbits Way makes more appeal.
