Astrum showed a liking for this C&D when winning a selling event two weeks ago but he wouldn't be an obvious candidate to follow up in this stronger race for new connections. It may instead pay to take a chance on TINTED ROSE handling quicker ground having shaped encouragingly on her return from a mid-season break on her handicap debut at Market Rasen recently. Mighty Missile should also be competitive whilst former C&D winner Diamond Rock may offer each-way value.
