33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, third of 28 in maiden at this course (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Difficult ask.

Rosie Frith²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Patrick McGettigan| T: P Magee| OR: 75| D

66/1

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 14-runner maiden (20/1) at Cork (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago, suited by drop in trip. This demands a lot more.

Forecasts

Ipanema Queen (6/5), Kansas (7/4), Jack The Bachelor (9/2), Tertre Rouge (22/1), Namiid (33/1), Whatchadoin (33/1), Rosie Frith (66/1)

It should be closer between last month's Cork 1-2 JACK THE BACHELOR and Kansas on the revised terms but Stephen Thorne's progressive son of Mehmas is still taken to come out on top. Ipanema Queen looks best of the remainder.
