Genuine tempo with the speedy Absolute Heart leading the way. OLDTOWN (3) got over the top from midfield to score by 0.5L as the favourite here last time out and he looks ready to go on with the job now. Purton remains with the gelding having guided him to both carer wins. Maps similarly today and if he won't have to improve much to repeat the dose. ABSOLUTE HEART (2) won impressively fresh before a very disappointing effort when a beaten favourite last start. He was sent back to the trials where he's moved well and he should be able to find the front from the barrier. Can bounce back in a big way today. MASTER PHOENIX (11) closed off nicely behind Oldtown last time out and does bring in some stronger ratings than that in recent efforts. While he may end up in the second half of the field, with a good tempo expected he comes right into calculations. HOT AIR BALLON (7) has looked good at the trials recently as he returns from injury. Should get his chance from the inside barrier.
