Verdict
A few of these have shown ability already, but we will take a chance with the Richard Guest newcomer Lady Rocket, Love The Hat and Monica Rose may prove best of the experienced runners. The selection has a very good pedigree being by Rock Hopper out of a winning hurdler. On the dam's side she is related to some top performers including the very smart Dramatist. The market will give further clues but she looks a likely type on paper. Love The Hat chased home subsequent scorer Shiwawa on her debut and looks certain to improve. If the market vibes are not right for the selection then Love The Hat could be the one to follow. Monica Rose is going the right way judged on her recent third behind the odds on Giveusaclue at Carlisle and may be capable of reaching the frame again. Insatiable Lady is another newcomer worth noting in the betting but on this occasion we will side with the well bred Lady Rocket.
