Dragons Will Rise hasn’t raced since successful at Newcastle in March and is 0-8 on Turf. Talk Now was well beaten off a pound lower when chasing a hat-trick at Ayr last month while the maiden Najib is fitted with a hood having already been tried in cheekpieces and blinkers. ROSEMAY needed the intervention of the stewards at Musselburgh nine days ago to get the verdict but would have been an unlucky loser and she can earn the spoils in her own right today.
