Formscan - BLAME ROSE improved considerably at the end of last season by winning twice from her last three starts - at Carlisle and Hexham. This doesn't appear to be a contest with much depth on paper and it wouldn't be a surprise if she could make a successful return to action. Quian may step forward on his second start following wind surgery and a stable switch, while Limerick Leader and Be The Difference complete the shortlist.
