In depth

Verdict

Callendula is 7lb higher than when placed over track and trip in March and Tocororo was upped 3lb for finishing second at Kempton on her penultimate start. Rock Heroine posted her best effort to date when runner-up on her latest start but that was on the Fibresand at Southwell and a chance is taken on LIGHT BREAKS in this. The latter never figured when sent off favourite on his reappearance but Sir Mark Prescott's charge can make amends over this longer trip. It's hard to make a case for the remainder unless Duke Street returns to form.
