We'll stick with ROSSLYN CASTLE now that he's got his head in front. A formerly useful middle-distance performer on the Flat, he overcame trouble in-running to get up close home at Chepstow last week and may be capable of a bit better. Tracking Time has knocked on the door a couple of times but is getting no help from the handicapper, who has taken no chances with Ossie's Dancer either. The Perfect Crime showed a bit of improvement last time but it's hard to make a case for Willie Musson's pair Broughtons Bandit and Bold Adventure.
