An open contest and ROSE AURORA is only a tentative recommendation. Marcus Tregoning's four-year-old filly remains a maiden after 11 outings but she gets on well with today's pilot, handles trip and ground and is likely to be ready for this seasonal reappearance. She has also dropped 7lb in the handicap since last summer despite performing quite respectably in low grade handicaps. Derby Desire did beat the selection last season but has hardly over-delivered throughout the winter, while Suhailah and Sir Haydn live their lives on the all-weather but at least arrive fit and in fair form.
