In depth
Verdict
Rose Above’s winning run came to an end in a higher grade handicap at Kempton last time when well behind fifth-placed Oratorio's Joy, who can race off a lower mark on this surface. Cosette scored over 2m at Chepstow recently but is upped 5lb while Golly Miss Molly remains 10lb higher than her latest win in December. Hope You Dance has been thereabouts off similar marks this year but AYR OF ELEGANCE may be good enough stepping up in distance after a couple of placed efforts at Lingfield.
