Picansort won here in December but has finished behind MOSSGO in a couple of subsequent outings. The latter won over course and distance on his penultimate start when also beating Pharoh Jake and Hot Stuff and can effectively race off a lower mark today with Rossa Ryan’s allowance taken into account. Temple Road also has something to find with the selection so Dusty Blue looks the chief danger returning to the Polytrack having won at Southwell last month.
