Captain Dunne got the better of several of these over track and trip a fortnight ago and is upped 4lb. But he only beat IMPERIAL LEGEND by a neck and the latter may well reverse running having finished third in this contest last year off a 7lb higher mark. One Boy was not far behind in third with Master Bond, Flash City and Bondi Beach Boy further back. The selection's stablemate Inxile drops in class and won off a higher mark at Goodwood last year while Rothesay Dancer is back on a winning mark but usually saves his best for Musselburgh. Singeur continues to slip down the weights but his losing run stretches back to 2012 now.
