Mick Easterby appears to hold the key to this claimer. Imperial State has the highest rating and ran well on his reappearance at Chester before finding 6f too short at Hamilton. But ROLLER also has every chance on these terms and hasn’t run in a grade this low since winning his maiden in 2016. He will have needed his comeback run at Wetherby but still wasn’t disgraced. The yard also run veteran Kalk Bay but he has a very long absence to overcome and is partnered by a 7lb claimer. Graphite, now blinkered, and Lingfield second Robero may prove the pick of the remainder.
