John Dunlop patient approach with certain types of second season performers has been a highlight of a wonderful career and it would be no surprise if SIXTY ROSES is one of his 2011 projects - a three-year-old that seems sure to improve steadily with time and distance. The filly showed promise last term and this is not the most demanding starting point for a new campaign. Ya Hafed and Not So Bright are consistent in lowly grades but Frosty Reception could be a larger threat on her handicap bow, having shown promise at Lingfield last time in maiden company. Any market support for Lady Morganna would be significant.
