Verdict

REDBRIDGE ROSIE seems to have found a level of consistency this season which was previously lacking. She’s yet to win but could put that right today receiving weight all round. For Gina found only one too good returning from a break at Huntingdon and both Boleyn Boy and Star Legend were winners last time, though the latter has to shoulder a penalty in this. Aki Bomaye is best watched until showing signs of a revival.
