Verdict

ROSE BOLT was no match for the unbeaten Floating Spirit when runner-up in novice company on her debut but the Haggas filly should go close in this with normal progress. Flower Desert may improve for this extra distance having placed at Newcastle while Melwood Boy should be in the mix once again. Phenomenon and Ludden Lass return from lay-offs with a shout while Dumfries is weighted to get the better of Duke Of Wybourne.
