Jill Rose won on slower ground at Haydock last time while Kimifive scored at Epsom last week and carries 4lb extra. But BICEP has shown progressive form in landing a double at Musselburgh and Grant Tuer’s charge looks worth sticking with in an open affair. Mi Capricho went close at Ayr in July while Monhammer was beaten only a neck over track and trip more recently and is another to consider.
