ROSE Blossom can redeem her slightly tarnished reputation by returning to winning ways in the EBG Gretsch-Unitas Novice Fillies’ Stakes at Haydock on Thursday.

Richard Fahey’s juvenile looked a bright prospect when trotting up in record time on her debut at Hamilton.

Leading syndicate Highclere Thoroughbred Racing were so impressed that they bought a chunk of her and Rose Blossom was sent to Royal Ascot, where she started second favourite for the Queen Mary Stakes.

However her inexperience was evident as she failed to live up to expectations, finishing seventh to Jealous Again.

She put in her best work in at the finish to suggest a step up to six furlongs should suit.

Elijah Pepper has sound credentials in the Tuffx Conservatory Roof Glass Handicap.

Since making a successful reappearance at Thirsk in May, the David Barron-trained four-year-old has performed creditably in both his runs since.

He looked slightly unlucky last time at Newmarket when fifth to River Kirov and is considered a good proposition.
