Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Lord Rosskit,Dubonai and Mac's Elan and the tentative vote is given to Lord Rosskit. The selection was a fair third in a better race behind Nite Fox last time out and although the drop in trip is a concern this looks easier and he is taken to score. Dubonai rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing for no apparent reason last time so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Mac's Elan is another that could go well as he was noted stying on under a tender ride and he could go well at a price. Celtic Legend has dropped to a handy mark and is from a yard in top form but the suspicion is he is better over a longer trip. Miss Pross is sure to strip fitter here than her first run of the season which saw her finish sixth behind Bigglesworth and she is another with place claims but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Lord Rosskit .
