Verdict

Truly moderate stuff. Hugh Morrison doesn't train many horses off such a low rating but Rosey Boy is given the nod on this occasion. Although he finished without distinction on a previous foray over the fences, his hurdles form should be good enough to take this. Basil appeared to fall in a hole after shaping promisingly up the home straight at Fontwell. That was his best run to date on the surface and he should be thereabouts if a repeat is forthcoming. Mr Miller looks a light of former days whilst the blinkers look to be tried in desperation aboard Moody Blues.
