Formscan - Russet Gold justified favouritism getting up to triumph at Redcar last month, but Roger Varian's gelding will find life tougher off 5lb more at this higher level. ALLIGATOR ALLEY returned to form when beaten just over one length at Doncaster in mid-June and the six-year-old may snap up a 1lb drop in the ratings. Rocket Rodney posted his best effort of the season when second over the same C&D as the selection a fortnight ago and also enters calculations running off the same mark.
