Verdict
Demolition pops up now and again and came good at York last time in claiming company, so perhaps that was the time to catch him and for today we'll side with ROSBAY. Tim Easterby's gelding has not won for a couple of years now but is back on that same winning mark of 81 here and will relish any more of the forecast rain for the area. He has a good draw and first-time blinkers may well be the final piece in the jigsaw for punters. There are stamina dounts over Stevie Gee, but none over Society Venue, who will appreciate the return to this trip but may just have a few pounds too many to shoulder. Conditions should also suit Moheebb, but Ruth Carr's runner barely gets home over this far and will have his stamina tested to the full. Amanda Carter would not want further rain and appears to have the handicapper as her biggest danger, while Crime Writer would be interesting if it came up soft, especially now stepped up in trip, and is well worth a market check. A decent contest of its type and Rosbay is the suggestion.
