Sam Sharp was due to run at Sandown yesterday while The Osteopath was a little disappointing under favourable conditions at Haydock on Wednesday and Levitate filled to build on a couple of seconds at Newcastle last month. SHE'S A CHARACTER likes to get her toe in as she proved here on her reappearance. Taking into account Shane B Kelly's claim, she's effectively a pound lower today and can bounce back from subsequent disappointments. Invincible Hero's latest fourth at Carlisle wasn't a bad effort and he's a lot more consistent than the majority of his rivals. He hasn't raced on going this soft before but will be in the firing-line if handling it. St Oswald has Fallon in the saddle but his best form is on the Fibresand.
