Verdict
Charming Lad hasn't run since May of last year but is weighted to reverse course running here with Ya Hafed if fully wound-up. He also has the beating of Roparta Avenue on the form book. Bawden Rocks will have his stamina to prove but was second three times in a row before disappointing here last time. MISS OSCAROSE has never won under Rules but did land a couple of point-to-points in 2014 and has shown some ability over fences. This would be the weakest race that she's so far contested and she may represent a bit of value.
