Tricky, given the lack of early speed. MOUGENOT (8) gave backers a bold sight last start and never stopped trying once reeled in. Draws to get the gun run and strips cherry-ripe fitness fourth-up. Sure to be very competitive. MISTER HOCKEY (7) is a Highland Reel gelding on debut for the smart R & C Jolly stable. Has impressed in both his lead-up trials and should make his presence felt. PAMIERS (9) has caught the eye at both starts. Will likely head straight back again from the draw and saved for the final shot at them. DAPPER DON (5) returns and makes his stable debut. Best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Mougenot.
