This is not the strongest race of its nature to have ever been staged on Town Moor and it is hard to oppose Rosina May because of the lack of obvious quality. There was a lot to like about the way the daughter of Danehill Dancer knuckled down to the task in hand when she maintained her 100% record from her starts so far at Ripon last month - even though she was very slowly away and only just managed to wear down some moderate rivals as they came inside the final furlong. She confirmed her superiority on the run to the line and only had to be pushed out to score. A repeat performance here should see her prove too strong for Iron Temptress and she can land the three-timer at his expense. Nearly Before Time has been given plenty of time after finishing down the field in the Brocklesby and should know more about what is required this time around. The two newcomers do not look to be anything out of the ordinary on pedigree and are best watched today.
