SNOWED UNDER is taken to follow up on his recent Beverley success with both Annabelles¿s Charm and La Rosa Nostra worth noting. The selection is only one pound worse off for winning last time out and therefore he has to be respected. His form can be a little in and out at times but is he can recapture his recent winning form he will not be too far away. Annabelle's Charm is four pounds higher for winning at Folkestone last time out. He is still only lightly raced and continues to improve with experience so any market moves should be noted. La Rosa Nostra has two years off through injury after breaking his maiden tag at Nottingham. He caught the eye on his return at Doncaster when finishing second of eight and should strip fitter this time around so he warrants plenty of respect. This is a tough and competitive handicap in which we return to Snowed Under as the likely winner.
