Oh So Rosie is on to the hat-trick after landing handicaps at Leicester and Windsor earlier in the month but had little to spare on the latter occasion and may struggle off a 7lb higher mark. Convent is improving but faces a much stiffer task on her nursery bow having scored in ordinary company last time while Naahy has something to prove after a disappointing effort last time so the vote goes to Pacific Paddy. Ian Balding's charge showed he is firmly on the upgrade after lifting a minor event at Beverley last time and impressed with his battling qualities in a finish so should give another good account.
