After producing a few quiet efforts of late it was interesting to see
Round The Island post a much improved performance when runner-up at Pontefract just seven days ago. If he can reproduce that form this one-time C&D winner could be well-handicapped off his current mark. Meanwhile,
Wicklow Warrior is worth another chance on turf after he ran well back from a similar break at Southwell in March which was probably a career best. This contest can go the way of
HARRY'S RIDGE though who is one of the more lightly raced sorts and went close at Haydock recently. The front two have advertised the form well since and perhaps he can shed his maiden tag at the ninth attempt.
