Verdict
Perth winner Irish Roe obviously has more on his plate under a penalty here but should not be dismissed out of hand as he stayed on strongly at the Scottish track whereas Gvs Irportensa showed wayward tendencies when a beaten favourite at Southwell and may need more time. MILEVA ROLLER was a little green on debut at Stratford but kept on nicely once the penny dropped and can go one better today. Floramoss, third at Carlisle in March, may be best of the rest, though the dam of Virtually Ours has produced winners with her first four foals to race and one of her siblings is the useful hurdler/chaser Attaglance.
