In depth

Verdict

Roja Dove finished just under a length ahead of CHANGING THE GUARD at Market Rasen 12 days ago and is slightly better off at the weights. But Richard Newland's charge should reverse the form here with that run under his belt. A Little Bit Dusty has had a couple of runs on the Flat and was holding his own in better company last season so is a threat to the likely market principals, despite having to concede weight. The others will need improvement to figure.
