Oakfield Rose is still 8lb higher than her only victory over timber and looks a few pounds high though this isn't the toughest of handicaps. Oskar High was in very good form on summer ground last year and beat QUEEN KHALEESI narrowly at Killarney. However, the runner-up will be 9lb better off with jockey bookings taken into consideration and should turn the tables. She's still a maiden after 19 starts but won't get too many better opportunities. Courtin Bb has a career strike-rate of 1-37 but generally does best on this sort of ground so could get into the frame.
