The Nifty Fox may yet have his day in the sun however Rothesay Dancer may benefit from stronger handling today and gets the nod over Kings College Boy and stablemate Bo McGinty. Kelly Harrison is no soft touch and has won three times on the horse however Danny Tudhope is a young jockey going places and he sits on the horse for the first time in over a year today. Jim Goldie's horse, now five, has been keeping his form fairly well of late and has won off this mark of 65 in the past. Stablemate Blazing Heights has been more hit than miss recently, whilst Ronnie Howe won well last time but has more on his plate today. Plenty of course winners here and Kings College Boy is one who showed that he is in good nick when winning recently at Carlisle. Bo McGinty is ready to win, possibly when racing back at York off this sort of mark, whilst Yungaburra is better than we have seen so far this season. My Gacho is another to consider in an open contest, however it is Rothesay Dancer who can lead the quick-step.
