Verdict

WOLVES' DEN (7) just missed two back then got a long way back last time and was one-paced to the line, the jockey reporting to the stewards that he felt the gelding needed more ground. Gets that here and gets a chance to atone. ROCK CATCHER (12) was favourite and looked close to a win last time but bombed the start and was always well out her ground. Made good ground and with a better start should go close this time. BIVVY (3) was placed on debut then quickly out to a mile in a richer maiden last time. Has upside and the extra ground is a plus. Improver. Same goes for BELFAST BOY (2) who is a two-start maiden with the blinkers added. Wound up strongly and can only be improved. JONQUIL (11) was course and distance placed two back and rates highly on that run.
