Rozene has been slow to come to hand this year but got back to winning ways when well backed at Yarmouth, despite hanging in the closing stages. Scoreline is in good for and the form of his latest success at Musselburgh is working out quite well while Lexington Rose is better than she showed at Catterick last month. DISTANT PAST only found one too good in better company at Haydock last month and a repeat of that run would make him hard to beat in this with Kirtling Belle and Traditionelle proving hard to place.
