TETRAITES STYLE found only one too good off this mark at Musselburgh. That was a major step forward over fences and he was well supported so losses may only be temporary. Miss Amelia won for the first time at Market Rasen last month. She has 6lb more to carry and is upped in grade here but can’t be ignored. Rossmore's Pride was a wide-margin winner on soft going over track and trip on Boxing Day but failed to cope with a 10lb rise subsequently at Newcastle. He looks best of the rest as Pc Dixon, hard to place over hurdles, was staying on over 2m4f at Carlisle on his chasing bow.
