Ehteyat won an amateurs race over track and trip before failing to land the odds at Newcastle earlier in the week and WRENS ROSE is preferred. The latter came up against a much higher rated winner when carrying a penalty at Wolverhampton last time but won a novices race here before that and can go close on her handicap debut. Typewritten has been thereabouts lately and the same comment applies to This Ones For Fred while Didtheyleaveuoutto returns to the Flat with a shout.
