A typical Southwell nursery and BOLD ROSE can confirm supremacy over Chimbonda and Red Cell. The selection is yet to get her head infront but she has a fair draw today and having shaped well on two starts on this surface in the past, we take Mark Usher's filly to get off the mark here. Chimbonda has blinkers and tonguetie. He can race close to the pace though is beginning to look exposed. Red Cell has taken plenty of racing this term. He was bitterly disappointing last time out and might be worth taking on. Alimarr takes a massive drop in trip having previously been campaigned over trips up to a mile. Imaginary Diva makes her first run on this surface so the market is watched accordingly. Key To Love won a race at Folkestone for Harry Dunlop but has disappointed since. Raimond Ridge can be expected to have come on for his first run for four months. Not the strongest of contests and Bold Rose looks best placed to prosper.
