      Verdict

      Little Bruce has twice finished third in non-sellers here this season. A dual winner at the track, he looks the danger to SAUCYSIOUX who only found one too good dropped into this grade for the first time at Fakenham on Friday. Olly Murphy’s mare is rated 2lb higher than her likely market rival yet receives 7lb. Rock Of Leon has won three times over timber but previous efforts on heavy going suggest he may struggle in the conditions.
