In depth
Verdict
SIMPLY ROUGE (NAP) made a promising start when runner-up behind Barters Hill on her racecourse debut at Huntingdon in November. That looks even stronger form now with the latter subsequently winning a Listed bumper and Peter Niven's mare can open her account. Towering has plenty to find with the selection on latest running and a newcomer may prove a bigger threat with Two Taffs and St Quintin worth noting though Petapenko, a half-brother to four winners, makes more appeal.
