Course-winner ASTROPHYSICS didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a good third here last week so looks the way to go with the return to 6f a plus too. Rhubarb can also boast winning form at the track and is next on the list on the back of her good recent fourth here, with C&D scorer Diamond Cottage appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
