POL ROGER has hit top form with two runner-up finishes at Ayr and now returns to the 10f trip where he's previously secured course victories. Narrowly beaten 9 days ago, he can go one better back at his optimum distance. Tafsir has been knocking on the door and remains consistent, though may prefer further. Cisco Disco completes the trio having thrived here with three wins at this venue in just 7 weeks.
