Verdict
There will be no hanging around with Even Stevens taking them along and ROTHESAY CHANCER can pick up the prize. Jim Goldie's seven-year-old won here in May, and though he needs a career best effort in order to win this, he handles this track better than most. Bunce beat the selection here in May and confirmed the form when the pair met Ayr so Linda Perratt's gelding is respected. Shipyard will be match fit having ran regularly in Ireland prior to joining Michael Appleby. Cruise Tothelimit drops in trip having been a regular winner over further. One Boy has been fairly consistent so a recent run at Beverley can be overlooked as he met with significant interference in the early stages.
