Double Mead bids to follow up her victory in this 12 months ago under trainer-jockey Alex Dunn and arrives in good heart having won between the flags only four days ago. But she might struggle to give 8lb to CHAMPAGNE ROSIE, who was a ready winner at Cattistock 10 days ago and has Will Biddick on board here. The winner should come from the top two with Shanann Star taken to secure minor honours under David Edwards.
