Verdict
ROSIE PROBERT landed the odds at Worcester last week and is likely to start a short-price once again for this. She has a double penalty to carry but the slower ground shouldn't be a problem and Nicky Henderson's filly is just preferred to Bittersweatheart. The latter won on fast ground over track and trip before a short-head defeat back at this track last time when Rose Red finished well behind. The remainder also have plenty of catching up to do though point-to-point third I Told You So may figure if taking to hurdles.
