A couple of interesting newcomers here in Grangeclare Flight and Ross's Rose and the market should give clues to their relative chances, however we will give our vote to the Keith Reveley trained Morning Roses. The selection showed plenty of ability on her debut at Catterick last March and returned this season with a good run behind the smart Sir Boreas Hawk. There could be plenty more to come and she looks the pick of the experienced runners. Grangeclare Flight is trained by Nicky Richards and looks the part on paper being a well bred son of Old Vic. There is also a lot to like about the pedigree of the Howard Johnson trained Ross's Roses, a daughter of Glacail Storm out of a Phardante mare. If either is supported take note. Flacon's Gunner should step up on a debut effort and looks the best of the remainder, but the form of Morning Roses looks pretty decent and she gets our vote.
