Victorious over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen (good) last month to register his fourth win in 33 starts. Has been raised 7lb for that victory and more is needed if he's to follow up off a career high mark today.

Finished 3½L third over 2m4f at Towcester (good-to-soft) last month on what marked a return to form following two heavy defeats prior to that. All four victories have come in selling company. including in a selling handicap hurdle off a 2lb lower mark in February.

Failed to complete the last twice including at Tramore (good) over an extended 2m5f last week. More to do if he's to register a third career victory today.

3/1
In good form in point-to-points winning his last three starts this spring and duly followed up on his return to rules racing over an extended 2m6f at Stratford (good) last month. Probably found the going to soft when pulling up at Bangor (good-to-soft) subsequently and likely to run well again here.

Career best effort when finishing 13L second over 2m4f at Hexham (good) last month. Races off the same mark here tackling this trip for the first time and wears a tongue tie today.

Forecasts

Day Of Roses (5/2), Scenic Star (3/1), Desert Sting (3/1), Edward Elgar (7/2), Running Wolf (7/2), More Than Luck (6/1), Near To Tears (7/1), Sound The Bugle (33/1)

Verdict

DAY OF ROSES looks the most likely winner of this novices handicap chase. The selection was successful at Fontwell last month and was declared to run at that track last night. If making a quick reappearance he looks likely to be the one to side with. of the remainder Desert Sting returns to decent ground here and he can claim second while More Than Luck remains relatively unexposed having had just the two runs over fences so far.
  1. Day Of Roses
  2. Desert Sting
  3. More Than Luck
