Alina Rheinberg, Rosecliff and Bollitree Bob are the three against the field in a wide open handicap and we just prefer the first named. Milton Harris's charge came good at Fontwell last time out, beating today's rival Bollitree Bob in game fashion. The runner up is entitled to reverse the form on today's terms but we reckon the extra furlong should be more favourable to our selection. Rosecliff was a decent enough hurdler and will have learnt a lot from his first run over fences. He did get out-paced early on following some tentative jumping, but stayed on well at the end to finish a gallant third behind First Cry. The pick of the remainder could be Terrible Tennant, but there may be more to come from Alina Rheinberg and she just gets the verdict.
