Fair form in two starts for John Gosden at two but stepped up on that when finishing runner-up in a 7f novice race at Wolverhampton on debut for this yard a fortnight ago. One for the shortlist in this contest.

ASTROLOGER showed marked improvement on her two-year-old form when placed last time out and she is taken to get off the mark in this competitive looking novice event. Carnival Rose is one of two previous winners in the field and she can claim second ahead of Bighearted who was placed on debut
