Jill Rose has won three times around here, all over 6f on soft ground, though she was narrowly beaten over track and trip a fortnight ago. Ventura Rascal has been here twice and won them both though is now on his highest-ever mark as is Wizard D'Amour. The latter has been struggling to get his head in front since scoring at Wolverhampton in June though hasn't been beaten far. OBEE JO scored twice here last summer and reappeared with a fair effort on the track a couple of weeks ago. She'll be better for that and gets the nod to gain her sixth career success.
