Verdict

The top pair on the card both carry penalties for last-time-out success and the vote sits with C&D winner STONEY ROVER, who showed significant improvement for the step up to this trip and can find more. Useful bumper sort Highland Hunter made a winner start over timber at Ayr on heavy ground last month and should make a good contest of this. Toi Storey can grab some minor money having run well behind the selection last time.
