Verdict

Rosalyons stays extremely well and comes here at the top of his form, but whether this trip will be far enough for him is debatable. Gangsters R Us got off the mark in good style here last month and should be suited by this stiffer test, but the selection is Contract Scotland, who comes into this a fresh horse having not been seen since early November. Three times a winner last spring, it could be he is at his best early on in the year.
