French import Taggia ran her best race so far for Alison Batchelor at Fontwell last time. Barton Rose did well last season, winning at Plumpton and Southwell, while Our Maimie won at Uttoxeter in July before finding 3m too far at Bangor. PETROVIC (NAP) has taken a while to get the hang of things but beat a subsequent winner on her fifth career start at Worcester last month and the fourth also won next time. She's got another 11lb to carry here but should be up to the task.
