OSCAR ROSE built on earlier placed efforts over fences to score nicely at Hereford. Fergal O’Brien’s mare looks worth sticking with given a conditional’s allowance negates a 5lb rise. Nightfly fell in the selection’s race but Jubilympics beat two rivals at Fakenham on her chasing bow and there should be more to come. Dame du Soir should be winning over fences again this season though would prefer some cut in the ground while Chasma still looks high enough in the weights.
