Race preview
ROOSTER COGBURN bounced back to form on the return to a right-handed venue recently, winning with ease over 2m. The veteran shoulders a 7lb penalty for that success but he should take all the beating if seeing out this 2m5f distance. Family Pot is another to consider after his 11-length romp here over 3m1f and, while he's not certain to prove as effective on this drop in trip, he won't be lacking for stamina. Judex Lefou shaped better than the bare form may suggest when fifth at Exeter earlier in the month and isn't discounted.
