In depth
Verdict
ROSE TREE attracted significant support at Fakenham on debut considering there was a Nicky Henderson newcomer in the line-up. She found that one too good but was clear of the rest and, with that run under her belt, Pam Sly’s four-year-old should have too much for Ludlow winner Mistress Massini, who hasn’t raced since beaten under a penalty at Aintree in October. Jubilympics is beginning to run out of chances but she should make the frame again unless Zara's Reflection, a nicely-bred daughter of Midnight Legend, is above average.
