Verdict

ROSMUC RELAY was left clear at the last when his main rival fell last time out but he beat the rest of the field by 19L in impressive fashion. There's every chance he will take a step forward on just his second start under Rules and prove hard to beat under a penalty. Teescomponents Lad doesn't look entirely straightforward when it comes to his finishing effort but he's placed on all six of his starts for this yard and can be thereabouts again while Well Smitten can't be ruled out back up in trip for a trainer/jockey combination always worth respecting.
