Verdict

There are a few in here that look as though the handicapper has them in his grasp but that phrase can’t be applied to CALL TO ORDER who looks to be still ahead of his mark after his C&D romp last time out and he’s only 7lb higher here. It would be a surprise if he still didn’t have some improvement left in him and he could well continue to progress here with the cheekpieces expected to work well again. Rocklander is another progressive type who can’t be underestimated here after his good recent form which has been against other progressive types and he still appears to have some scope off this mark. Whataknight concedes plenty of weight but still looks off a mark that he can be competitive off and he commands plenty of respect on his return to hurdles after an easy chase win last time out. 1. Call To Order 2. Rocklander 3. Whataknight
