Mark Johnston's juveniles are in fine form this term but his dual winner, Ravenhoe, faces a demanding task off top weight. He cannot be ruled out but ROSINA created a good impression when scoring here on debut, displaying a pleasing turn of foot from an initially unpromising position. She's plunged straight into handicap company but looks on an acceptable mark and could be ahead of the assessor. Ayresome Angel always had her last race at Chester sewn up and rates an improving filly, especially with the form of her penultimate run at Catterick working out surprisingly well. A definite threat, she looks best on quick ground.
