Formscan - A drop in distance proved no barrier to success for BRAZILIAN ROSE, who completed a double over 6f here recently. Rebecca Menzies' C&D winner ticks plenty of the right boxes and she's taken to defy a 5lb penalty. The lightly-raced Lodge is entitled to build on her fifth-placed reappearance at Wolverhampton and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of How Impressive.
