RESTLESS ROSE continued her good progress when defying a 4lb rise to land a course and distance double. She accounted for Verne Castle on both occasions and the hat-trick beckons for Stuart Williams’ mare. Lord Riddiford went close when last racing over track and trip back in September and can figure but Corinthia Knight looks no nearer taking advantage of a slide down the weights and Airshow’s earlier success came on the Fibresand at Southwell.
