Union Rose makes a quick reappearance after winning a race at Sandown for the second year running. He has a small penalty but has won three times here so should go well again. Star Prize and Big Lachie are others who have shown a liking for the track and Diligent Lady arrives in decent form. THEGREATESTSHOWMAN hasn’t managed a win this year but could put that right today eased in grade if he has more luck in-running than he did at Chelmsford last week.
