From wide gates Canny Rock and Bird On A Wire may have no option but to press on which will set up a strong tempo. ON THE MARK (2) has played bridesmaid throughout his career thus far, but ticks plenty of boxes in what looks a suitable event today. Ready to peak now third-up and getting back out in trip should suit. Drawn to get every chance and looks ready to go one better this time. CANNY ROCK (1) was too far back to make an impression last start, though he did close off nicely underneath his rivals. Third-up now and back out in trip appears a recipe for success. Had a few goes now but his hoof is right on the till. BIRD ON A WIRE (11) has the speed to be prominent from the wide alley and is ready to hit this full of gusto. She rates well off the narrow defeat last start and has to be included. SPIRIT OF GEORGE (6) draws a much better gate than recent events, so expect him to be much closer in the run this time. Can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: On The Mark can get the job done this time,
