One For Rosie was never travelling after an early mistake at Ascot and pulled up. But there are more races to be won over this longer trip with the eight-year-old, who is tried in cheekpieces today. Francky Du Berlais has struggled since returning from a break and looks held by Paint The Dream on the form book but Golden Whisky’s run at Aintree should have blown away a few cobwebs. The unexposed When You're Ready won here at the start of the month with DUC DE BEAUCHENE sixth but the latter beat Zambezi Fix here in March and might be the pick of the weights with that run under his belt.
