Eden Rose won easily over 1m6f here a week ago and carries 6lb extra while Udogo won over a shorter trip here last month and an apprentice’s allowance negates a rise in the weights. But the penny dropped with TRUE DESTINY (NAP) over 1m3f at Kempton last time and she opened her account on her first start since July. There should be more to come from Roger Charlton’s filly and can go in again raised only 3lb. Celtic Artisan has done most of his winning here though over shorter trips and the less-exposed Boscastle attempts 1m4f for the first time.
