Verdict
A recent winner over 3m, WOR ROM got a second wind in the closing stages over 3m2f at Catterick last week to claim the runners-up spot. That run suggests today's longer trip could bring further improvement and Elliot Cooper's charge gets the nod. Ontrack looks to have every chance having scored over C&D last month with a subsequent winner back in third. He should confirm running with the second Oniz Tiptoes, who won this race off a higher mark last year. Rebel Swing won at Uttoxeter in September and could make the frame in this company.
