Verdict
It’s difficult to put a line through any of these but ROUND THE ISLAND loves it here and he will be weaving his way through the pack again in the closing stages under Hollie Doyle, though he is very closely matched with Carlton And Co who was unlucky in-running when Simon Whitaker’s veteran won here last month. This is a drop in class for Roundhay Park and Ripon third Rhythm has dropped to a fair mark. Patontheback attracted market support last time but lost his chance at the start and still hasn’t won on Turf.
