Madness Handicap Stakes

Rocking Ends is winless in his last six starts and was below par when seventh last time, though he'd shown much better before that. Quick to return just 7 days on and proven over today's trip, he heads this contest on our figures as top-rated.

Valley Ofthe Kings was a good second last time out and also placed second five starts back, either side of three below-par efforts. Without a win in that spell, he returns 27 days on with today's trip already navigated, making him a leading threat on our figures.

Grandlad won last time out, his only success in his last five starts, but he's had 82 days off since and returns fresh. Proven over today's trip, the long layoff is the obvious question for this leading contender.

Rogue Bullet won two starts back but has since dipped, finishing fourth last time out after modest form either side of that success. Fit again 20 days on and with today's trip already navigated, he sits respectably on our figures without being fluent on recent evidence.

Diomed Duke is winless in his last five starts and was well held in fifth last time out, though a third three starts back shows more within him. Fit 27 days on and proven over today's trip, our rating of 81 sits well above his official mark of 72.
