With the stable going pretty well we'll take ROSCO FLYER to see off Primo Dilettante, while Quinsman is another potential danger. The Jim Boyle-trained selection went well in defeat to Integria in a Kempton handicap last time. That was over a mile, from today's mark of 65, so we know that he is competitive and after only five starts there is plenty of room for improvement, especially over this longer trip. Primo Dilettante won a course and distance seller last month but struggled in a Ffos Las handicap last time, when he had traffic problems, and he will do well to win again from a 4lbs higher mark. Quinsman has been slipping in the weights and went well enough in a Haydock seller over this trip last time. Provided he handles the surface, then from the same mark of 65 he can make his presence felt. Molly The Witch has been dropped 3lbs since winning a Yarmouth seller over a mile in August but was dismal at Wolverhampton last time and will need to improve. Solo Choice has been well beaten a few times but has shown glimpses of form and if there is market support then we should take note, but preference is for Rosco Flyer.
