Misaro looks the pick of the two runners in the race trained by Ron Harris over Swinbrook having won well over course and distance two starts ago but he disappointed at Kempton last time and may be best watched in a race where it may be worth taking a chance with ROSIE SAYS NO. Alan McCabe's filly won well at Yarmouth last month and lost no caste in defeat over course and distance recently behind Forever's Girl and she has solid claims off a decent racing weight. Richard Fahey's Thunder Bay ran better in a claimer at Kempton last time and has to be considered with the stable continuing in good heart. Peter Grayson's Equinine drops to the minimum trip for the first time and could be of interest but more solid claims are held by Ebraam. Paul Howling's gelding ran really well off a big weight in a Kempton handicap earlier this month when a close third behind Fullandby and he has to be respected. Preference though is for Alan McCabe's Rosie Says No, who can resume winning ways.
