CONFESSIONAL found one too good in this last year with Ballesteros and Arctic Feeling immediately behind. Tim Easterby's charge can race off the same mark today and arrives in good form having been narrowly beaten the last twice. Union Rose steps up in class off a 6lb higher mark after beating Adam's Ale at York with Arctic Feeling, Appleberry and Captain Dunne further behind. He can figure again while Waseem Faris finished well ahead of Fredricka when landing a Class 4 sprint at Nottingham during the week and should be thereabouts. Astrophysics has yet to run up to the level of last year's form and finished last at Leicester on Tuesday with Kimberella also well beaten in the same race.
