Dan Skelton’s Roll Of The Dice was still close up when falling in the maiden point won by King's Walden at Horseheath in March and won later at Charing. Peter Fahey has sent over Station Master from County Kildare and he goes on the short-list. Dunraven Doc is another with scope and preferred to the four-year-olds but Richard Harding is reunited with APTLY PUT after the five-year-old got off the mark between the flags last time and his mount should have the pace for this.
