HEAVENLY ROSE posted an improved effort when second at Lingfield under today’s apprentice and it could be the turn of Marco Botti’s filly today in a moderate handicap. Sayifyouwill has failed to threaten since scoring over track and trip in June while Join Forces earlier win came on the Fibresand at Southwell. Aramis Grey returns to today’s trip with a chance and is preferred to Appellation, who has struggled since winning over a mile on the Turf.
