      Verdict

      Simon Walker is a class act in the saddle and the leading amateur can steer ROSETTE to a second career victory after Alan Swinbank's filly opened her account over this trip at Doncaster last month – she's only 2lb higher. Amirli has picked up a penalty for winning over 1m5f here under James King last week while Stoneham is 5lb higher than when scoring over course and distance in June and may struggle to complete the hat-trick. Hero's Story and veteran jumper Strobe look up again it on these terms.
