Jewelled Dagger looks well-handicapped but has been tricky to win with on the Flat for Jim Goldie and we will take KIMBERLEY DOWNS to follow-up his Musselburgh success. Noel Wilson's charge was dropped back to this trip when making all and winning that day, and with similar forcing tactics today he will prove very tough to beat. Rosbay does not win too often but is back 2lb below his last successful mark and is much respected over a trip that suits, while Templetuohy Max is capable enough to get heavily involved, though he has to put a couple of moderate efforts behind him and Kimberley Downs is preferred.
