Roll The Dice, India Run and Darusso are the three for the shortlist here and the vote is given to Roll The Dice. The selection will not find a better opportunity to get his head in front as this is a weak contest and although he is clearly nothing special, he has shown enough in his four runs to date to set the standard for the rest today. India Run rates the main danger as he looked very green on his debut when finishing in mid-division behind Araafa at Newmarket. He is sure to improve for that experience and if he does he will not be far away at the finish. Darusso wasn't beaten far when third behind Archon Star at Brighton last time and this colt is another that is entitled to go close. Psycho Cat is an interesting newcomer from the Mick Channon yard and he is certainly worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to Roll The Dice.
