After three seconds, including two over course and distance, SIMPLY ROUGE deserves a change of luck. Her second to Barters Hill at Huntingdon in November is decent bumper form. Debece had an alternative engagement this weekend but fellow newcomer Wee Man is entitled to respect given he's a son of prolific NH sire Milan. Trespassers Will's third at Wincanton looks better form than Lift The Lid's fourth at Southwell and he should make the frame again.
