Rogue Tornado made a big improvement following a gelding operation, running in his first handicap and stepping up markedly in trip. He just failed to get there with a strong finish at Yarmouth and this stiffer track should bring out the best in him. Big chance.

03/07/23 – 1st 4/1 – Rocambolas – Ben Pauling – Southwell
Rocambolus showed promise when 2nd on chase debut and was still in with a big chance when going easily in 3rd before falling three from home at Market Rasen last time. He has yet to put it all together but remains one with plenty of potential and I am confident he can get the job…

King Of Unicorns was 3rd in this race last year and this has been his target for a long time as his owner has a box here and is a local man. After that good run last year, he had a touch of a leg and we left him off and he didn't reappear until…
