Course regular Day Of Roses returns to action off a 9lb higher mark having landed a double over fences here during the summer. LIZZIE LANGTON has been upped the same amount for winning easily at Wincanton recently but a conditional’s allowance negates the rise and Colin Tizzard’s mare is taken to go in again. Burgess Dream is another recent winner having scored at Lingfield last time and he’s preferred to Megaboost, well beaten when runner-up at Southwell, but Water Wagtail and How's Vienna continue to struggle.
