All of the five have won around here, ROSE SEA HAS twice though never over a trip this far. She stayed on strongly to score over 2m2f last month and can defy a 5lb rise. She had earlier been beaten seven lengths by Family Business over that trip but the latter then ran a shocker on a return visit. It's two years since High Up In The Air completed a five-timer on testing ground and though he's been running poorly he takes a drop in class. Dom Of Mary has won over hurdles here and has only had two runs over fences while Tip Top Mountain was a convincing course and distance winner before a very poor effort when well supported at Plumpton.
