Verdict
ROSEARELLI has won both outings since fitted with a tongue-tie. She’s been raised 9lb for last month’s Ffos Las success but the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form and the hat-trick beckons for Ali Stronge’s mare in this company. Massini Man looks destined to place yet again having rattled-up a sequence of seconds while Legendary Rhythm returned a disappointing favourite at Leicester. Fraterculus remains without a win though posted a better effort over hurdles last time.
