Verdict
ROUGH ROCK is tipped to see off Gold Gleam and Wreningham. Chris Dwyer's five-year-old seems to reserve his best for Yarmouth and while the handicapper has not really given much room for maneouvre, his reliabilty is beyond question. Jeremy Noseda is among the winners these days and having gone close at Beverley, it would be no surprise to see Gold Gleam go close again. Wreningham looks to have plenty of ability though is frustrating to follow. He won off a mark of 52 at this course previously though he has been notably slow to come back down the handicap. Thoughtsofstardom is exposed yet is throughably workmanlike. Desperate Dan has proved a real boon in plating events though the percentage call is that of reluctant opposition in handicaps. Imaginary Diva could potentially be very well treated at present and while one has to bear in mind that this is her first run for some time, the decision of George Margarson to book Seb Sanders appears to be significant. Morgans Choice showed plenty of speed at Warwick and is in receipt of the weight-for-age allowance against his elders. Rough Rock is not without questions to answer but he can return to form at his old stamping ground.
