Rose Bien, Scamperdale and Olivino are three against the field in another wide open affair and the vote is given to Rose Bien. The selection won well last time out when beating Icanshift. That horse has since run well in a better race and despite her penalty under conditions that suit she is taken to win again. Scamperdale rates the main danger on his latest second behind Cottingham, especially as this longer trip looks likely to bring about some improvement. Olivino is another that could go well as he finished in mid-division behind Twentytwosilver last time but he has yet to win over this trip and is opposed for that reason. Of the remainder, Proprioception showed improved form to be fourth behind Taskandi last time and if he improved again he could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Rose Bien.
