Gran Maestro and Ailsa Craig finished practically upsides behind Dolphin Village here last month and both have claims. Bayan Kasirga was well beaten in the same race when starting favourite and ROSIE REBEL is preferred. The latter has more scope than most of todays' rivals and this longer trip may well bring further improvement. Dame Nellie Melba is another three-year-old to consider along with last month's Newcastle winner Vicky Valentine.
