      Verdict

      Three of these let supporters down last time but ROTHERWICK ran really well over a trip too short on his first start since December and Paul Cole's charge can make amends. Invictus followed a very good second on heavy ground at Pontefract by finishing last over this track and trip but that wasn't his form while Count Montecristo was probably in need of the run at Beverley last month, his first since making all for an easy victory at Hamilton in September. Eurystheus hasn't won since 2014 but is only 3lb lower while Bogardus is on an even longer losing run on Turf but has scored on Polytrack.
