      Verdict

      King Rolfe played up at the start at Chepstow last month and was left behind but made amends when scoring at Southwell recently. He should go well again if on his best behaviour but CANGO is preferred. The latter made a winning start for a new yard when scoring at Catterick and can shrug off 7lb extra on only his third start over fences. Roseville Cottage was placed in a lower grade chase here last time but the remainder have struggled of late, including April's Wetherby winner Whiskey Ridge.
