NELSON GAY ran very well at Doncaster last month and a repeat of that effort would see him go close. He's proven at the track and makes most appeal. Volatile Analyst wasn't disgraced in the Ayr Gold Cup last time and he has to be taken seriously. Temple Bruer can't be ruled out on his first start for Robert Cowell either.
