ROSSETTI went close at Chester when last seen on the track in September and has the best form on offer. A winner on the Polytrack, he gets a tentative vote on his return. Masai Moon, Opus Dei and Kung Hei Fat Choy have done their winning on the Fibresand at Southwell so far and My Own Way Home has yet to score over today's longer trip. Paphos won over C&D in July and could figure, however, while the selection's stablemate Parisian Pyramid continues his slide down the weights and may take advantage soon.
