Verdict
ROSIE CROWE has the only recent winning form on offer and that came over course and distance in October. She’s the obvious choice in a feeble contest, despite a 3lb rise. Little Indian won twice on the all-weather early this year and is back on a winning mark while Menelik continues to slide down the weights but looks no nearer ending a long losing run. Topsoil won at Bath back in August, though over 5f, but Lutine Charlie and Bold Max are a couple with place claims.
