American Rose⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: H J Evans| OR: 50| D

7/2

Modest performer with mixed AW results, improved in classified company. Finished 2nd of 10 in classified stakes at this C&D (33/1) 9 days ago despite poor start. Could build on this promising effort at same course and class.

Forecasts

Autumn Angel (2/1), American Rose (7/2), Evoluir (5/1), Darla's Secret (13/2), Wrath Of Hector (7/1), Bella Love (10/1), Brother Dave (11/1), She'sashambles (20/1), Lowestoft (100/1)

AUTUMN ANGEL should appreciate returning to 7f where she's previously successful, having not been seen to best effect last time after a slow start and wide trip at Wolverhampton. American Rose took a significant step forward when runner-up in classified company over C&D 9 days ago despite a poor start. Wrath Of Hector, a dual C&D winner, remains capable at this level.
