Verdict
Jim Goldie is triple-handed and among his trio is last year's winner ROTHESAY CHANCER with Graham Lee on board again. The six-year-old hasn't won subsequently but he's run well in his three starts this season and has dropped to a low enough mark to repeat his success. Go Go Green carried Samantha Bell to victory at Haydock but he was just behind the selection at Ayr on his previous start while the ex-Irish Jumbo Steps ran moderately for Goldie at Hamilton last time. Gowanharry has been performing with credit at a similar level and was conceding a stone to Jofranka when beating her a neck at Newcastle a year ago so has nothing to fear on that form. Red Baron has won his share but now looks a few pounds high in the weights.
