Racing Post verdict
Third-partyRoc De Fer heads this seven-runner Wolverhampton mile-and-a-half contest narrowly ahead of Dartmouth Jet on identical ratings, with the pair pulling clear of the remainder on form. The real edge here lies in consistency and class over this sort of trip, and Roc De Fer's profile suggests he is well-placed to confirm that superiority over the all-weather surface. Dartmouth Jet represents the most obvious threat on a matching figure, while Jodhpur Blue and Joseph are capable of making the frame if either of the principals underperforms. **Roc De Fer** to win.
