In depth
Verdict
Rocket Action has won two of his last three outings and both came over course and distance. But he’s 8lb higher today and found Leodis Dream too good at Chelmsford earlier. The latter finished almost upsides Royal Birth and Corinthia Knight when all three finished down the field in Listed company last time while Thegreatestshowman faces a much tougher task than when scoring at Lingfield last week and carries a 6lb penalty. TANASOQ (NAP) hasn’t raced since April when landing a decent conditions' race at Musselburgh. But he was fresh from a lay-off on that occasion and Paul Midgley’s sprinter may well prove good enough once again.
