Red Stripes went close here on his penultimate start but was beaten by Gossip over track and trip earlier last month and also has something to find with LORNA COLE. The latter finished fourth in a tougher sprint over track and trip with May The Sixth behind on her latest start and with an apprentice’s allowance also helping her cause today, Mick Appleby’s grey can figure in the finish. Tilsworth Rose missed the break here last time and is preferred to Moveonup and Compton's Finale.
