Gelded/off 7 months before easily resuming winning ways in good style in 9-runner handicap (8/15) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago. Up 8 b but this low-mileage 4-y-o looks to have plenty more to offer. Big shout.

17/2

First run since leaving Charlie Appleby when winning 12-runner minor event at Southwell (12.1f) 32 days ago, despite missing break. Cheekpieces go back on for his handicap debut and not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 61/1

14/1

Form: 521-112

Forecasts

Old Harrovian (9/4), Intinso (11/4), Cannon Rock (17/2), Chillingham (9/1), Old Peculier (14/1), Youthful King (14/1), Killybegs Warrior (18/1), Valsad (20/1), Dream Harder (22/1), Cemhaan (25/1), Laafi (28/1), Duc De Kent (33/1), Londoner (33/1), Captain Wierzba (40/1)

A cracking renewal of the Rosebery in which the Gosdens' upwardly-mobile INTINSO is hard to side against on the back of his impressive reappearance success at Wolverhampton with the promise of plenty more to come. Old Harrovian looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so is feared most despite lacking a recent run, while hat-trick seeking Cannon Rock and the progressive Irish raider Old Peculier can also have a say.
