Verdict

There will be serious questions asked if OSCAR ROSE passes up yet another good opportunity to get off the mark over timber. A smart performer in bumpers, she has been placed four times over hurdles including when favourite for a Listed handicap at Cheltenham when last seen. Tomorrow Mystery is the unknown quantity making her debut over obstacles. A winner over 1m4f on Tapeta, she was bought by JP McManus at the end of last year and sent to Paul Nicholls. Wilde Spirit hinted at ability in bumpers and should do much better now hurdling.
