Crystallus has now found one too good in her last four starts but the handicapper has shown her no mercy, raising her 3lb since her last run at Thirsk. Rylee Mooch rarely runs a bad race but is another who struggles to get his head in front. Rothesay Chancer seems to be a Musselburgh specialist but was only beaten a neck off this mark last week and should go well though we prefer PANTELLA. She finished a couple of lengths behind Rothesay Chancer at the start of the month but is 7lb better off now and stepped up on that effort when just collared at Beverley eight days ago when attempting to make all. Kevin Ryan's filly is worth another chance.
