Verdict
ROSIE'S LADY scored here on her Polytrack debut a week ago and followed-up over a longer trip at this track yesterday. David Bergin's 7lb claim negates a further penalty and she looks likely to go in again if taking part. Aegean King bounced back with a win at Kempton last month and remains on a decent mark but Kyllachykov was winning for the first time in 16 starts when successful here last week and a penalty may scupper his chances. Lingfield winner Bertie Blu Boy can make his presence felt but Georgebernardshaw is a rare winner and has been beaten in sellers the last twice.
