Iconic Rose has been chasing and remains 5lb higher than last year's win over hurdles. In contrast, ROSA FLEET has slipped down the weights of late and may be up to landing this off her current mark. Millicent Silver has failed to figure in three subsequent outings since winning a maiden hurdle at Lingfield in November and Our Maimie has looked in the handicappers grip since landing a handicap off a 4lb lower mark at Newton Abbot back in October.
