CLAIM THE ROSES had an off-day behind today's rival Finn Class at Newmarket in July but returned to winning ways over 6f at this track last time. He's up 8lb for that but remains unexposed and has already scored over today's trip. Beau Nash should go close again after a close-up second over track and trip while Mime Dance also has claims on his recent narrow-margin defeat at Epsom. Dream And Search and Arrowzone have more to find if they're to get involved in the finish.
