The maiden Rowlestone Lass ran her best race so far when only beaten half-a-length over a longer trip at Nottingham. She must have a chance in a poor contest but we still fancy joint top weights ROYAL MARSKELL and Highlife Dancer to fight out the finish. The former is narrowly preferred as, even though he's yet to win on Turf, he went close on Polytrack off today's mark in the spring. The latter is still 5lb higher than when scoring over course and distance last month on soft going though does handle all types of surface. The other pair appear to have a bit to find on recent form.
