Despite only beating one home, Rocket Rob wasn't beaten that far on his reappearance at Doncaster and, though on a long losing run, is well handicapped nowadays. Beat The Bell is another on a decent mark if able to recapture his best while there is surely more to come this year from Emkanaat, a winner at Lingfield last September. RASH JUDGEMENT hasn't raced since October but was only beaten a short-head on a similar surface at Newmarket in the autumn and has gone well fresh in the past. Stuart Kittow's seven-year-old gets the nod, though it would be no surprise to also see a big run from Cardinal off a low weight.
