In depth
Verdict
BUSH ROSE, a daughter of Australia, was very green on debut at Beverley last year but should be much more the finished article now. The Jackler also showed signs of inexperience at Newbury last month and is another likely improver but neither Thawg nor Rebecca West have shown much so far while the four-year-old Hoornblower is having a first run on Turf after placing twice on the all-weather.
