Race preview
NOT AVAILABLE has been gradually coming to hand since joining the Matt Sheppard stable and his most recent victory at Newbury was evidence of that, as he put a decent field to the sword. Raised a mere 3lb for that success, there is likely to be plenty of improvement forthcoming from the son of Milan as he looks to fend off the challenge of Fidelio Vallis, who should be much more at home back at handicap level. Rockstar Ronnie was lucky to win at Kempton last month when his main rival fell at the last, but he cannot be dismissed either.
