Verdict
Roulston Scar has not been easy to train but has won five of his 17 career starts and is the highest rated of this trio. DUBAI STATION’s second to Emeraaty Ana at Hamilton in July looks better now than at did at the time and he’s since gone close at Nottingham so he can win for the first time since landing a Group 3 at Newcastle last summer. Babyduke will get almost £2,000 for completing.
