Carnival Rose returns to action having won over today’s trip at Kempton in December but SAN CARLOS looks to have the stronger form on his course and distance success in the same month. Shaun Keightley’s colt put plenty of daylight between himself and the rest of the field on that occasion and can defy a penalty. Astrologer is steadily improving, though never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Wolverhampton, but Bighearted was beaten less than a length at Kempton on his recent debut and should figure. The remainder are harder to recommend with Dor's Diamond perhaps best of them.
