Verdict
Trojan Rocket is upped in class off a higher mark having landed a double at Kempton but, with most of these struggling for form, he should still go close. Baddilini will have come on for a reappearance run at Lingfield and the same comment applies to Joe Eile after a pipe-opener at Southwell. Both Pandar and Doctor Parkes tumbled down the weights last year and will be looking to benefit but a chance is taken on HITCHENS returning to his best. David Barron's charge has failed to figure in more competitive races at Meydan and Lingfield but has Luke Dempsey's 7lb claim helping his cause today and rates a speculative selection.
