        Verdict

        Rowe Park can get recent losses back, with Trinculo, Taboor and After The Show seen as the main dangers. Successful in three of his last four races, Rowe Park found the turnaround in the weights with Almaty Express too much at Wolverhampton last time, having beaten that rival the time before. However, a mark of 65 does not appear too harsh as the four-year-old now makes his Fibresand debut, and judged by the way that he has battled at the end of his races, the surface may bring out the best in him. Trinculo is not the force he once was, and has it to do with the selection on Wolverhampton form, and a bigger danger may well be Taboor who took too keen a hold when narrowly beaten by Romany Nights at Kempton last time. With Eddie Ahern on board, he rates a potential threat. After The Show made eye-catching headway when fourth on his last outing at Kempton just over two months ago, and lines up fresh after that mini-break so is another to consider despite the fact that he has topweight. Rowe Park has done little wrong though and is the one to beat.
