Scotland's leading lady Lucinda Russell boasts a strong hand with course specialist Elmono seemingly the pick of her three runners in a tight-looking contest, which also features the upped in trip Wishfull Dreaming and the revitalised KING GOLAN. The selection was narrowly beaten by Elmono over 3m here in February but that was on his first start for four months. He side-stepped a planned engagement at Newcastle on Saturday (soft ground), and Kenny Johnson can be rewarded for adopting that logical approach with another successful raid over the Scottish border.
