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.
