Verdict
JAVA ROSE should be sharp enough after a spin over hurdles last month and a repeat of her second at Salisbury in August would see her bang there at the finish. She's just preferred to other contenders such as All The Winds, well beaten despite finishing third at Wolverhampton last time and Leitrim Pass, who was beaten less than a length over 1m3f here last Sunday. Living Leader disappointed at Lingfield last time but Poitin ran well at a big price when fourth over 1m2f here earlier this month.
