Don McCain's ROSIE ALL OVER is chasing a hat-trick and after an easy success last time we see no reason why she won't land it by taking this Handicap Chase with the main competition coming from Seize and Reckless Venture. Having beaten home a subsequent winner in horrible conditions over this trip at Haydock the selection then improved again for better ground with a five-length victory at Uttoxeter. Her 5lbs ratings rise seems a little light and she is unbeaten in two starts at this track. Seize is a proven stayer and beat home the selection in March. The subsequent weight swings still favour Ferdy Murphy's runner but the selection looks much improved. Reckless Venture stayed further than this when a well held second at Hexham on his latest effort. A step back down in trip should help him get a lot closer off the same mark. Prince Of Slane stays this far and has a good conditional jockey in the plate to help negate the fact he is running from well out of the weights but in a race where stamina will truly be tested Rosie All Over looks as though she hasn't finished winning just yet.
