Another cracking contest in prospect and, as there is little to split most of the field on past form, this looks set to go right down to the line. The unexposed Shot To Fame and Rapscallion are both high on the shortlist, and are ones to watch out for next time whatever occurs during the race today. But the booking of Kieren Fallon for Colisay is enough to sway the vote towards the Alec Stewart-trained gelding. The partnership have teamed up to good effect on several occasions in the past and the terms of today¿s race give Colisay every chance of reversing last month¿s course and distance form with Duke Of Modena on ground that should be ideal for the four-year-old.
