In depth
Verdict
Roar has a run on the Flat last month but HYDROPLANE doesn’t carry a penalty for an easy win under Charlie Todd at Kempton on Monday so a quick follow-up looks on the cards. The four-year-old Iron Heart and Genever Dragon have both won this season so look the pick of the remainder with the former far from disgraced in a very competitive handicap at Ascot last time.
