Verdict
Definitelyanoscar and Kilcullen Bellamy won point-to-points when last in action and both debut under Rules. But ROSY WORLD has the form in the bag with a creditable second at Ascot on last month’s debut and Suzy Smith’s mare is taken to go one better in this. Mrs Miggins looks a likely improver and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Mechelen but Cedar Valley is a debutant to keep an eye on as she’s a half-sister to a bumper winner while Cushuish is related to recent dual hurdles winner My Dance.
