Verdict
Rosa Fleet has been raised 8lb for winning over 3m at Southwell last time but is unexposed over fences and should go well again. However, BALLYDAGUE LADY will appreciate the testing conditions and it could her turn today having finished runner-up in both starts last month including at Fakenham when Miss Dimples was pulled-up. Kassis didn't fare too badly on her chasing bow at Towcester though never looked like catching the winner while September Blaze is having her first start since finishing second at Ludlow in March.
