Verdict
Pepite Rose has slipped down the weights and showed signs of a revival when third at Doncaster last time. But Sue Smith has trained four of the last six winners of this and MWALESHI can add to her tally. The latter scored in this grade at Haydock a fortnight ago and is just preferred to Firth Of The Clyde, a who won over these fences last time but has yet to score over this far. Indian Voyage was still contention when falling at the last behind Firth Of Clyde but Midnight Belle is upped a grade after winning at Ludlow. Alderbrook Lad's placed effort here looks stronger form than Free World's recent second and Granville Island should be thereabouts.
