In depth
Verdict
A cracking contest which looks like turning into a three-way go between Pablo, Hit's Only Money and Rockets n Rollers. The first named looks the one to be on if his run in the Lincoln can be ignored. He lost all chance that day hanging left and ending up in no mans land. On ground more to his liking here he should be the first one home providing this step back in trip does not inconvenience him. Hit's Only Money was a model of consistency last season with wins at Kempton, Leicester and Ripon. Running his best race in defeat at Lingfield on his penultimate start he rates the biggest danger to the selection but this is his first test further than six furlongs so a watching brief is advised. Rockets n Rollers ran well on his reappearance at Doncaster recently and ran the best race of last season around this trip at Newbury. If he shows that sort of form again he can give the selection a run for his money but whether the ground is suitable for him remains to be seen. Takes Tutu can be given a chance on the best of his form but could be foiled by the soft surface. Pablo is the call then with Rockets n Rollers the main threat.
