Rose Hip is starting to come down the weights again but she has been racing over 5f over the last 12 months. Oisin Murphy is reunited with QUICKSTEP LADY after Hayley Turner steered the Balding filly to victory at Windsor two weeks ago. She is still potentially well treated on a mark of 85 and can see off the progressive three-year-olds Improvised and Crazy Luck. The latter’s stablemate Silent Flame is also in good form but steps up two grades for this and the going may be too quick for Mountain Brave and Chocoya.
