Race preview

ROCHEVAL arrives here unbeaten following a hat-trick of victories last season, the most recent of which came over 2m1f at Carlisle in March. An opening mark of 120 could underestimate the four-year-old, especially as he may have more improvement left to come. Ridin Solo also makes the shortlist on his handicap bow following an encouraging third at Stratford last month. Mack The Man edges out Dance Thief to be best of the rest.
