In depth
Verdict
Redrosezorro is on a long losing run but has won six times here, the latest from a 13lb higher mark. MOTAWAAZY, who is 3-4 here, completed a hat-trick over the trip on quick ground in the summer and didn't handle much softer conditions on his bid for a four-timer in October. He gets the vote though Annie Rose is back on the same mark as when scoring over the course and distance on soft ground in July, the last time she ran on Turf, and nine-times winner Round The Island is another capable of winning this from his lowly mark. The latter finished runner-up to Eldelbar on fast ground here a year ago and there's little between them at the weights while Mr Trevor has continued to run well after scoring at Thirsk in August.
