Splashing Wave was disappointing on her second start in the autumn but points winner Rockstown Native is entitled to improve on last month’s fourth at Warwick. Bhaloo showed promise on debut at Kempton but that was more than a year ago. TAKE NO CHANCES, a £95,000 purchase, followed up a second at Exeter with a third behind a couple of smart mares in a Listed race here last time and should have too much for these.
