In depth
Verdict
Soviet Sceptre, Lord Rosskit and Tickateal are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Lord Rosskit. The selection was given plenty to do when only third behind Stoksies Boy last time out and if ridden closer to the pace here he will be hard to beat under his optimum conditions. Soviet Sceptre rates the main danger as he looked the likely winner until falling two out, if his confidence has not been effected he will not be far away. Tickateal is another that could go well on his latest fifth behind Poor Tactics but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him on that occasion and he is opposed for that reason. High Country has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he has shown very little of late. Of the remainder McQueen won well last time out but had an easy lead there and as that does not look likely she looks worth taking on.
