      Verdict

      Rory’s tendency to miss the break resurfaced here earlier in the week and he’ll need to be quickly away in this to keep tabs on the front-runners including MILITIA. The latter faced a tougher task at Chester last time but made all at Catterick before that and can effectively race off a lower mark with Ryan Sexton’s allowance taken into account. Modular Magic and Apache Star are others likely to be up with the pace while Mas Poder made all when landing a novice event at Pontefract two runs ago. Primo's Comet is back on a winning mark so can't be ignored.
