PLAY SMARTER
ROCKET RODNEY holds the clear edge on the form of his Windsor Castle second and looks the way to go with further progress on the cards from George Scott’s son of Dandy Man. Remarkable Force found the Coventry Stakes a step too far but had looked a useful prospect when going 2-2 prior to that and shouldn’t be discounted. Eddie’s Boy and Bakeel should also be on the premises too in an intriguing Listed event.
