Rossin Gold, Lord On The Run and College City are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Rossin Gold. The selection won well last time out when beating Flaming Heck and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and looks the one to be on. Lord On The Run rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Hapthore but his yard has been quiet of late and is taken on with this in mind. Colleage City is another that could go well but his best form is over a longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. Nuzzle won a seller in good style last time out but this looks tougher of the remainder Orang Outan could go well on his best form but may just need the run after a 138 day abscennce and with this in mind for the winner we return to Rossin Gold.
