Verdict
Astrum only won a seller here at the start of the month and was bought out of Donald McCain’s yard. Fellow course winner Mighty Missile may be more interesting today given Mitchell Bastyan again takes off 10lb. Ginger Fizz may need this but Salto Chisco has claims if back on song. It could be TINTED ROSE’s turn today as Charlie Longsdon’s mare has been placed in three of her four starts over hurdles so far and wasn’t beaten far on good going at Market Rasen in the autumn.
