Verdict
Roxyfet won this two years ago when 10lb higher in the weights but he’s not really fired this season. Stablemate Bandit D'Ainay never seems to run two races alike but there are possibilities about Lickpenny Larry dropping back in trip and he should ensure Catterick winner Wheelbahri doesn’t enjoy an easy lead. The latter has every chance of a quick double with the form of his win having been franked but it’s too soon to give up on DONLADD, who might have dropped to a decent mark. Astra Via is also respected as her only chase victory so far came over track and trip.
