PREMIER ROSE was well behind when falling at Uttoxeter nine days ago but that wasn’t his true running. Reunited with Harry Skelton here, the nine-year-old has every chance of picking up the winning thread again in a race that won’t take much winning. Anton Dolin is often placed but it’s a long time since he got his head in front and a bigger danger may be Patience Tony, who pulled too hard here last month returning from an absence but still wasn’t disgraced.
