5.20 Nott Rocket Rob 

Ideal Cond. 5f or 5.5f; OR 80 or below; C4<£6k or below

Form in Cond. 5,1,1,2,1,1,1,2,2,7,1,3, 9,4,2,3

Positives. Well he has conditions again and has been running well, without looking like he is suddenly going to win, but maybe his consistency will be enough. He is 0/2, 2 places at the track, including once over CD. 

Negatives. All wins when 8/1 or under. 0/27, 4 places 17/2 or bigger. 0/16, 0 places 14/1 or under. 0/11, 3 places 16+ runners. He is also drawn in 1 here which makes it tougher. 

My Verdict. 1/2 EW 16/1 4 places general. This is tricky, his current consistent form makes me think there is every reason he will run his race again, but that list of negatives could be off putting. There are 4 places here to aim, although that would be 3 if 2 or more non runners.
