Hollander scored over track and trip last month but never recovered from a poor start here last time and Union Rose was also beaten off today’s mark recently having won at Bath earlier. A Sure Welcome posted one of his better efforts at Kempton and Rockies Spirit finished in front of Bellevarde at Nottingham having placed at Chelmsford earlier when behind runner-up ANGEL OF THE SOUTH. The latter was winning off an 8lb higher mark earlier in the year and Dean Ivory’s filly looks set to make a bold bid in this.
