Appleberry beat Silken Skies to win over 5f on the outer track here last month and New Road Side won the other division of the same handicap. Pensax Lad dead-heated for first over track and trip a week ago and is penalised but he was ahead of Bath winner Storm Melody on that occasion while Oeil De Tigre also won at the Somerset track in June. ROSINA hasn’t won anywhere so far this year but has slipped 9lb down the weights as a consequence and went close at Newcastle last time. Ann Duffield’s filly can return to winning ways off her current mark.
