PREMIER ROSE made a very pleasing start fort the Skelton's at Southwell last time, winning seemingly with plenty in hand, and so she is hard to oppose here despite the penalty that she will carry. Plenty of the remainder have questions to answer, but there are a couple for whom any support would be noted. D'pinesflyer hasn't achieved a lot in Ireland but the booking of Noel Fehily for this first British run is interesting, given he has a 57% strike rate for this yard over the last 12 months. Gamain was out of sorts when last seen but is on a good mark if ready to roll here while Mister Big isn't to be disregarded just yet.
