Rosalyons is in good form at present and can complete a hat-trick at the expense of Rambling Minster, Just Beth and Florries Son. Rosalyons will have no problems staying today's trip judged on the manner of his back-to-back victories at Kelso last month. Heather Graham's charge defied an 11lb rise last time and who is to say that he will not shrug off the same burden this time, the form he is in at present. He can make the most of a fitness concession with Rambling Minster who has been absent since coming from off the pace to score over two and a half miles at Wetherby in May. His attention will be turned to fences sometime this season perhaps, but he may pick up a hurdles event after blowing away the cobwebs today. Just Beth has a 7lb penalty incurred for her Ludlow win and may give her rider another hard time as she ran in snatches at the Shropshire track. Florries Son will be all the better for his return and is another that will be back over the bigger obstacles soon, while Caesar's Palace comes from a stable doing well this season. Rosalyons is taken to defy the handicapper one more time.
