Verdict

He's A Rocket can complete a hat-trick at the expense of Dellagio, Rapid River and Sir Sandrovitch. There are one or two of these, including Sir Sandrovitch, that would eat these for breakfast on past form, but on current evidence it should pay to side with He's a Rocket who has been in very good form of late, notching victories at Wolverhampton and here on his last two outings. He beat Sir Sandrovitch narrowly on the first occasion, and although slightly worse off this time, is more progressive and can again come out on top, with his pilot able to claim a useful seven-pounds. Dellagio has the assistance of Eddie Ahern and has been pretty consistent. With a good draw in stall three, he can make his presence felt along with the lightly-weighted Rapid River, although he has a wide draw to overcome. He's A Rocket is the pick.
