Rosy World bids to make it third-time lucky but didn’t run up to the form of her Ascot second when favourite at Taunton. The market will be the best guide to the newcomers but Easter Gold’s dam was placed in a bumper in her only career start. Orchard Moon is from a yard always worth noting in races like this but she doesn’t have a particularly appealing pedigree. Tom George’s DUNSTALL DOLLY is by leading NH sire Midnight Legend so gets a tentative vote.
