      Verdict

      This may have attracted bumper entry but it won’t take much winning. ROAR will handle any give in the ground and he finished ahead of Chantecler when runner-up to the odds-on For Pleasure at Bangor. Progressive over timber last season, Sarasota Star is entitled to be in the firing-line if fully wound up and Market Rasen second Lleyton wasn’t beaten far at Southwell last time despite only finishing sixth. Right Destination holds Court In Matera on last month’s course and distance second but probably needs to drop a few pounds.
