Mark Johnston has Master Of Finance and Rainbow Rock in this but the yard has been struggling for winners lately. Indy disappointed when favourite at York earlier this month but remains unexposed and Ghazi has only had the one run so far, though has a long absence to overcome. Kleo's last two runs have been in Listed company so she goes on the short-list along with Pontefract second Top Of The Glas but Pupil generally finds at least one too good. CAPE CASTER had Derby third and St Leger runner-up Romsdal behind when second in a maiden over course and distance on good to soft ground in March. He went on to win at Windsor and Salisbury and was third at Newmarket last time so there's no reason why he won't go close today.
