Archimento (7/4), Roy Rocket (5/2), Purple Rock (3/1), Henry Croft (4/1), Alcanar (16/1)

Verdict

ROY ROCKET can register a fourth victory of the season at this venue by taking this small field 1m4f event. The selection has finished in the first three in all seven starts here in 2018 and can get the better of fellow multiple course winner Archimento who ran well when runner-up at Windsor recently. Third place can go to Purple Rock who is stepping up in trip having raced over 1m since joining this yard.
