Jamie Snowden's MISTA ROSSA probably found the going too testing at Newton Abbot last month and the five-year-old is probably better judged on his win over course and distance the previous month and on that evidence he looks worth backing to resume winning ways. Brave Bugsy is held by the selection on running that day and of more interest may be Charlie Longsodn's Rey Nacarado, who makes his reappearance under Peter Carberry. Jamie Snowden is also represented by Saddlewood, who cannot be discounted but is unproven over this far. Heezagrey is probably too high in the weights at present, while David Pipe's Barlin Bay lacks any recent worthwhile form.
