Verdict
Mouse Morris has two entries here with CAROLE ROSE looking to have the edge over Baily Smile. The former showed nothing over timber but it was a different matter on her chasing debut at Down Royal where she jumped well and chased home Duckweed, suggesting this longer trip was required. She's taken to gain her first success though On Fiddlers Green has much more experience and has come up against several useful performers without quite showing enough. Gordon Elliott tries Blessed King in blinkers on his chasing debut but he's disappointed over hurdles after a bright start. Charlotte's Chum has finished third in all three starts over fences and looks booked for a place again.
