Topflight Wildbird can get the better of Rosie All Over and provide Lucy Wadham's team with a welcome tonic. Chinara won well last time on just her third start for this yard but it may be best to treat that result with a degree of caution given her record prior to that. Aberdeen Park needs a market check whilst Dandygrey Russett has pretty solid form claims and could have a say in the outcome. Rosie All Over proved the form of her penultimate start to be all wrong when running out a ready winner at Kelso. It wasn't the strongest of races but she won readily and won't be overduly inconvenienced by her penalty. The selection was ultimately well beaten over this course and distance on debut but was a well backed winner from a fair yardstick next time out. She should be able to build on the promise of that run and it will be disappointing if Topflight Wildbird doesn't go very close.
