Keeneland scored at Musselburgh in January but was well beaten under a penalty at Bangor on his latest start. He should still be thereabouts but KRIS CROSS gets the nod to remain unbeaten. Lucinda Russell's point-to-point winner made a winning debut under Rules at Ayr last month with Probably George well beaten and the remainder with experience look no threat on what little they've shown so far. Fascino Rustico could prove a different story though, as he cost 29,000 euros and is worth noting for any support on his racecourse debut while fellow newcomer City Player could prove best of the rest.
