      Verdict

      ONE FOR ROSIE will be a short-priced favourite in this as he beat subsequent Chepstow scorer Glen Forsa here six weeks ago with plenty in hand. The others might be playing for places but Captain Zebo won by five lengths at Wetherby on his first run for John Dixon and First Account chased home a couple of useful novices here in October and will no doubt improve as he gains experience. Emissaire will need to improve again on his latest third at Ayr if he is to win races.
