In depth

Verdict

Olivia Rose lines up in form and can beat Scottish River, with Dunaskin and Mbosi others to consider. Olivia Rose has won three of her last five starts and displayed battling qualities when produced with a good run up the inner to prevail at Ripon a week ago. It is hard to envisage her not being involve din the finish again here and she is taken to follow up. Scottish River has to give weight away all round and will have to deliver his effort a lot sooner than at Epsom when second to Rondelet, while Dunaskin may appreciate the step back in trip after a futile effort to make all at Ripon. Mbosi was soon beaten at Doncaster but is open to more scope than all of his rivals and is worth a mention. However, Olivia Rose has the form in the bag and is the answer in the finale.
