Verdict

A tight-knit handicap in which veteran ROCKLEY POINT edges the vote on the back of his good recent Newcastle second. Fellow C&D scorer Captain Corcoran could emerge as the main danger if, as expected, building on his reappearance seventh in the same race. Golden Gal is another who could have a say if back on her A-game.

  1. ROCKLEY POINT
