ROSOFF ended a barren spell when getting the better of a small field at Lingfield earlier this month and a similar outcome is expected here. He stayed on well to beat an odds-on favourite on that occasion and Richard Johnson keeps the winning partnership intact. Cosavita improved for the drop back to today's trip when fourth at Ffos Las and she has a chance along with Wheres Johnny who also seemed to appreciate a return to 2m when running well over these hurdles earlier this month. A C&D winner in November, Just Beware has struggled off her new mark and Like Ice has shown little of late.
