Another tough handicap but Roar would have claims only 2lb higher than when scoring at Ffos Las last month in a race that has turned out better than expected. Idilico is usually slow leaving the stalls and has had a rear view of Sulochana a couple of times this year, including here in May. Bollin Neil never threatened at York last Friday and prefers more give in the ground while Dreams Unwind wouldn’t want any jar in the surface, though was winning for the third time in four starts at Ripon on Saturday. ECLIPSE DE LUNAR continued his upward curve at Ayr earlier this month and is fancied to get the better of fellow three-year-old Haizoom, despite a 3lb rise.
