A number go to post with sound claims in the finale so ROSIE SAYS NO couldn't be a confident pick but she'll do for us. Medici Time, Castano and Idesia are just a few others to bear in mind. Idesia has attracted support on a couple of occasions and came agonisingly close to landing the spoils at Bath last time. She should give it another bold bid whilst Ours is another running well enough to think that he can be involved although his modest strike rate is offputting. Medici Time posted a vastly improved effort in a visor last time but may have more problem coping with a 10lb rise in the weights than he does with the seventh furlong. Castano is probably high enough in the weights as well but is a fairly consistent sort who should give his all. The selection has done most of her running on the all-weather and has raced exclusively over six so she does have a little to prove here. However, her pedigree suggests that she should be just as effective at this trip and the way that she stayed on into fifth here last time adds credence to that view. The addition of cheekpieces may also help her cause and Rosie Says No could provide us with a big show at a big price.
