Rose Tina can get the losses back, with Debbie, Miss Mailmit and Royal Bubbel put up as the principal dangers. Rose Tina pulled too hard and was not fluent when third to We'll Make It at Sandown on her last start in November, but had earlier gained back-to-back victories at Towcester. Brendan Powell decided to give her a rest to wait for the better ground and she is sure to have been well galloped for her return. Miss Mailmit is lightly-raced and is going the right way, while Debbie, successful on the Polytrack at Lingfield in August, has had just the two outings over timber, and although held when coming down at Taunton at the start of the month, has some scope. Royal Bubbel was not disgraced when third on her first outing under rules at Newton Abbot and can be added to the list, but Rose Tina has that bit more experience and should make it count.
